Formerly known as the Blue Note, the Fringe Bar is fast becoming the place to see comedy in Wellington. The bar presents a variety of comedy shows three days a week, including stand-up, sketch and improv. The best comics from Wellington, New Zealand and beyond are coming to the Fringe Bar to perform their shows.

The Fringe Bar is ramping up for a busy but friggin' awesome run of shows during the 2010 Fringe Festival. Here's the flyer with more information about each show.

After the jump, the comedians...

Here's what's on:

• Raybon Kan - International Vegetable of the Arts
