Welcome to the 2024 NZ International Comedy Festival - 02 to 26 May.

Check out The Classic Pick of the fest HERE

A Festival favourite returns to the BMC in Takapuna for the first time since 2019

It's a 'Shore-thing' kicking off the 3 week Fest of comedy in Auckland.

6+ international & local Festival Stars and some surprise guests packed in to a 2 hour show.

Look out for the return of a Fest Fave, IAN SMITH (WATCH) , who stormed the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe receiving 'Best Show' nominations for all the major awards. He is joined by the one of the UK's leading club headliners, BEN NORRIS (WATCH) , who first made his debut at the NZ Festival at the turn of the millennium.

We are introducing 2 shiny new comedy stars. KIRSTY WEBECK (WATCH) from Australia is fast becoming a comedy force to be reckoned with across the Tasman. And everyone is talking about MARK SIMMONS (WATCH) from England who has a unique style and 'next level' audience interaction.

They will be joined by a 'Classic Scot' , HANNAH CAMPBELL who first took up comedy here in NZ on her big O.E. before returning to Scotland where she has now established her self on the Pro circuit. She is coming back to The Classic to celebrate her roots.

And we welcome a rare appearance by NZ's own comedy icon, TE RADAR who will be making a welcome return to The Classic from May 22 to 26 celebrating 30 years in the biz. Always expect a few surprises when he hits the stage. 

And watch this space for more surprise guest comedians to be announced.
Early booking is recommended as this will sell out.
Great group discounts for friends, workmates or the social network.

All are part of the 2024 NZ International Comedy Festival. Checkout the full programme at www.comedyfestival.co.nz
