by Kliph Nesteroff

"This year we saw the boom of Native comedy in TV shows Rutherford Falls and Reservation Dogs, but Indigenous people have been cracking jokes about the Rez, Custer and fry bread for ages now. In We Had A Little Real Estate Problem, Kliph Nesteroff proves just that with a blend of stories covering everything from Indian sideshows to the life of legendary stand-up Charlie Hill (the title a nod to his most famous one-liner), and profiles of today’s Indigenous comedy scene. Nesteroff, hand-in-hand with the community whose story he aims to tell, gives a serious account of an unserious lineage."
