Ah, the NZ Inter­na­tion­al Com­edy Fest – remem­ber when we last had one? Two years ago. How­ever, it’s back, and we’re well into the three week pro­gramme now. If you’ve not got­ten along to any shows yet, here are some high­lights com­ing up in the next few days!

Josh Dav­ies – Look! I’m blind. 

Nom­in­ated for the Billy T Award this year, Josh Dav­ies brings an insight­ful hour of com­edy about vis­ion loss and access­ib­il­ity. Per­form­ing at the Fringe Bar from tomor­row (the 11th of May), through the 15th, this fant­ast­ic show will be, “a bit sur­real, and also weird.”

“The jour­ney to Dav­ies’ punch­lines are almost as hil­ari­ous as the punch­lines them­selves” (Art Mur­murs).

Lana Wal­ters – Prob­lem Areas

As seen on Snort, 7 Days and The Pro­ject - Lana Wal­ters, also nom­in­ated for the Billy T this year is bring­ing her intim­ate hour of stan­dup to Wel­ling­ton. Loose, fun and a bit raunchy, this show’s run­ning from the 11th-15th May at the Fringe Bar.

‘..a relaxed enga­ging deliv­ery style who lets the audi­ence see deep into her per­son­al life’- NZ Com­edy Review 

Pamela Han­cock – Hello, Darlings!

Loc­al legend Pamela Han­cock brings her show back to Wel­ling­ton this week. Come over for a cuppa with your favour­ite Aunty from Bulls, Mrs Pamela Han­cock!

A night in front of the box was planned with her hus­band Tre­vor, but when he decides to go to the pub, Pam won­ders if she could do bet­ter… will she be 007’s next lov­er? Will she travel on a cruise? Will she win the Wimble­don plate?

“Be sure to catch rur­al New Zealand’s answer to Dame Edna in Hello Darlings!” Art Mur­murs

 

Bub­bah – Catch You Up

Out of the gate and authen­tic­ally South Auck­land.

Incar­cer­ated out­cast, the fam­ily dis­ap­point­ment, young, single, Sam­oan, NO FEFE…it’s catch up time! Just some broke kid giv­ing you a taste test of stand up com­edy straight outta South Auck­land.

Cre­ated and per­formed by Bub­bah aka Sieni Leo’o Olo – as seen in the brand new hit Com­edy Cent­ral TV series, SIS.
