Leigh Hart

In July 2013, Leigh released his own brand of beer, Wakachangi, brewed by Harringtons Brewery. It was initially marketed to students having big parties around the country (notably in Dunedin) and sold in 2-litre bottles. Wakachangi was released nationwide at all Liquorlands in 330ml bottles in October 2013. Hart's comedic taste continues with the beer branding, with "hardly a true word on the label"; it is said to be "a South Otago beer, with North Canterbury flavours, brewed by a West Coaster, with the ol' misty waters of the Waikato - est circa 1648", and winner of the Moon Breweries beer awards.

Hart is a regular speaker and M.C. at public events. In 2011 in Shanghai, he helped raise nearly half a million dollars for the Christchurch earthquake relief fund.

On 10 May 2009, Hart wrote a humorous piece for the New Zealand Herald entitled "That Guy: Let's hear it for the Maori sasquatch". The piece provoked outrage in the cryptozoological community for the representations of individuals at the conference, as well as its overall tone.

Beginning in 2002, Hart produced and starred in Moon TV, a late night comedy show. Hart also wrote a column for the Herald on Sunday, and worked for the television show Fair Go.

He moved to Auckland, where he was working in television production for Greenstone Pictures when producer Marc Ellis recruited him for a vacant guest spot on a 1996 episode of SportsCafe, in which he appeared as an "international snail trainer."

Hart was born in Greymouth, and lived outside of New Zealand, with four years spent in Peru, until the age of eleven when his family returned to New Zealand. He attended Christ's College in Christchurch before spending a year at the University of Canterbury. After working on the Channel Tunnel for two-and-a-half years in the early 1990s, he returned to Christchurch and the founded the rock band "Wild Turkey" with his brother Greg and friend Matt Johnson. The band suspended activities in 1994 after being briefly jailed in France for visa irregularities and then deported. Returning to Christchurch, Hart enrolled in film and television school, where he began a newspaper titled Moon.
