If you have never been to a comedy festival, this is the one to try.
Lots of international laughs but the local talent is excellent as well.

The Big Show 2016 – A more intimate version of the 5 star comedy preview
Brendhan Lovegrove – Filthy Lovegrove is a dirty favourite.
Eli Matthewson – Too talented to ignore
The Fan Brigade – The most anticipated show of the entire festival – book tickets now because this will sell out.
Le Comique – French and beautiful.
Matt Stellingwed – His Bachelor of Arts show looks too good to resist.
Nazeem Hussain – Legally Brown on SBS is hilarious and am looking forward to seeing Hussain in the flesh.
Rose Matafeo – She’s just a comedy goddess, one of the best comedians in NZ right now, must see.
