Dive into The Deep End!

New Zealand's very own comedy super star returns with a brand new show for 2014.

From the misty mountains of Rwanda to the eerie shores of Loch Ness, Rhys has seen it all...

Join him as he regales you with tales so thrilling you'd swear he was making them up.

No one brings a yarn to life better than Darby with his classic onstage physicality.

Join the adventure... Mr. Adventure.

 

 

David Scheel has been labeled 'the funniest pianist in the world'. His new show is the sequel to 'Don't' Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player' which was a runaway hit in London's West End and across North America.

Audiences can expect hilarious send-ups of classical music, wonderfully accurate tributes to the likes of Victor Borge (humourist and world-class pianist known as the Great Dane) and Peter Cook, plus more fun at the expense of the icons of modern living: the internet, celebrities, politically correctness and much more. Oh - and yes - expect beautiful music, as you would expect from an internationally acclaimed concert pianist.

Direct from a sell out season at The 2013 Sydney Comedy Festival Nelson welcomes the International touring comedian and masked Mexican wrestler - El Jaguar!

A high energy, interactive night of comedy theatreview calls, "...a rip roaring show of immense proportions!"

One man. One pair of spandex. One night you won't and can't forget!

 

Pete Langford is founder member of The Barron Knights, the band that had more comedy hits than any other band in the world. The Barron Knights have performed at the London Palladium (334 times), Buckingham Palace and the Albert Hall. Pete was awarded the B.A.S.C.A. badge for his contribution to British song writing with Sir Paul McCartney, Sting and Sir Elton John.

The evening with Pete will be filled with wonderful stories and music. We won't give too much away but you will hear all about touring with The Beatles and the Rolling Stones and encouraging Bill Wyman to buy his first guitar in 1961.

Carl returns to N.Z with his acclaimed new show. Get ready for something a little different with Carl's new monologue/ stand-up/ music show. More Troy stories, worms, ants, acid, and being Carl Barron are all explored.

He grew up in Longreach in Central Queensland the son of a shearer and is now Australia's highest selling stand-up comedian on DVD in retail history.

Follow Carl as he looks for things that may not actually be there. Just make sure you are.

 

Directed by Geraldine Brophy and starring Tim Bartlett.

You can take the cockie out of the country, but the manure remains when Dickie Hart sells up the back-country farm and moves to the city for some culture!

The Perfect comedy for your pre-Christmas get together!

Terracotta pots and a home described as "Mediterranean", Dickie finds himself like a fish out of water, floundering in a crowded street, with no vegie garden, no dogs, and not a thing to do.

Women. Men. Dating. Relationships. Taking a chance on the hope of romance....you'd have to be a fool, right?

Romantic Fools is a humorous take on love, and the perennially mind-boggling relationships between men and women. The laugh-out-loud comedy is at the Theatre Royal for a strictly limited season – September 11 & 12 at 7.30pm

From the New York playwright Rich Orloff, “Romantic Fools” is a comedic revue consisting of two-character sketches about love, lust, dating, and romance that has enjoyedproductions around the world.

From a caveman with a heart of gold to a couple of vegans with one greasy secret, “Romantic Fools” details the ups, downs and in-betweens of love and relationships told in a series of short vignettes.

Written in the comical stylings of “Friends” and “How I Met Your Mother”, this is one side-splitting show that brings to light the often hilarious situations faced by men and women in love in a world where no blind date can be too horrific and no relationship too weird.

Romantic Fools is presented by Antics Theatre Company and stars Troy Warring & Susanne Smith and is produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.
