New Zealand’s number one producer of live comedy is back at the Bruce Mason Centre with a line-up full of world class laughs, kicking off with the Comedy All-Star Showcase providing a taste of things to come.

The 2019 showcase features some brand new faces at the Festival including:

Paul Sinha a.k.a. ‘The Sinnerman’ from TVNZ’s The Chase – a comedian with all the answers.
Alistair Barrie – "A no-frills master of his craft – the comedy craftsmanship is exquisite" ***** - The Scotsman
Tom Houghton –  “A crafty idiot” **** - Daily Mail
Brennan Reece – "Hilarious and tender – beautiful and raucous” **** 1/2 – Chortle, UK
Chris Henry – "One man hurricane of humour" ****- Broadway Baby 
Plus, the return of Edinburgh Fringe legend and NZ Fest favourite,  Phil Nichol

Six world-class comedians in one huge, two-hour show, this is the ideal show to kick off your Festival with family, friends, workmates and the social network.

Look out also for our line-up at the BMC Comedy Club (Thursday to Saturday) over the following three weeks.
