Mary Ledbetter

S1 E4: Real life journalist David Farrier (Tickled) is on a quest to find the everyday New Zealander, the stalwart of our community, in this mockumentary series. He meets seven of these so called “Short Poppies,” a diverse group of unique individuals all played by comedy tour de force, Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Yes Man). Meet Mary Ledbetter. Mary is a serial complainer. She pens letters, she argues and she protests. She isnʼt really happy unless sheʼs unhappy. For her, life is about pointing out all the things that are wrong, whether it be with her own friends, or the noise from a local daycare centre.
