Enter the Jandal
Season: Tuesday 17 – Saturday 21 May
Time: 8pm
Tickets: $15 full price/$12 concession and groups 12+

Part stand-up comedy show, part mocumentary, Enter the Jandal tells the disastrous story of James Nokise, Samoa’s biggest celebrity since The Rock, struggling to spread his name across the globe. But his dreams quickly turn to disappointment as multiple failures force this big-time island star to take on two-bit parts and live stage performances. Enter the Jandal is the latest offering from James Nokise, recently returned from a three month tour of the UK.

I Love David Hasselhoff
Season: Wednesday 18 – Saturday 21 May
Time: 6.30pm
Tickets: $15 full price/$12 concession and groups 12+

Name: Cori Gonzalez - Macuer
Nickname: Wesley Snipes, Uncle Jesse from Full House
Likes: muffin bakes
Dislikes: Kryptonite, people looking at him, lamb
Fave Actors: Sean Penn, that Asian chick from Shortland Street
About his show: Who cares about the show? Cori's just happy to be alive. Since getting nominated for the ODDFELLOWS Billy T Award this year, people have wanted him "out of the way". Luckily, he has been able to defend himself by firing punchline bullets from his comedy pistol. Come see his show. David Hasselhoff might be there. He's lovely.

Just a Buck Eejit
Season: Thursday 19 – Saturday 21 May
Time: 9.30pm
Tickets: $15 full price/$12 concession and groups 8+

Having lived here for a number of years Darren decided enough was enough, it was time to become a citizen of this beautiful country. So armed with his application form and passport photos, he embarked on a journey to find out what it takes to become a ‘Kiwi’. And so was born the ‘Irishkiwi’, a combination of the Irish’s gift of the gab and the sheer unrivaled understated enthusiasm that New Zealanders have.
Travelling the country, Darren sets about finding the key to fitting into New Zealand life, or simply the best way to not being always seen as a FOB (fresh off the boat). From trying all the ACC activities like bungee jumping and sky diving to more cultural activities like farting in a hot tub in Rotorua and getting away with it.
