Fergus Aitken to perform at Comedy Festival
Fergus Aitken:
TRUE STORIES
& Other Stuff That
Probably Isn’t
Wellington comedy circuit favourite Fergus Aitken and upcoming comedy legend in the making Guy Williams team up for an adult standup show that will leave you in stitches.
TRUE STORIES is a fresh selection of observations, questions, adventures, fun facts and myths. Some of life's little mysteries will be expanded, explored and exploded!
With a stand-up comedy style based strongly in physical theatre and storytelling Fergus spins a yarn – and some of it’s even true! “I love observational comedy”, says Aitken, “Some of the funniest things I’ve ever heard are true . . . like the actor who took herbal viagra which didn’t work until the next day just as he went for his important TV audition . . . or the deer hunters whose bicycles were stolen by recently released, trained circus bears . . . or my young daughter who came up and innocently handed her mum a poo . . .”
Also known as his alter ego Mr Fungus, ‘New Zealand’s Loudest Mime’, Fergus is in regular nation wide demand as a stand-up comic, corporate presenter and physical theatre teacher, while support act Guy Williams won the 2008 Wellington 'Raw’ competition and was Highly Commended at the 2008 National 'Raw' Final.
So come out from the cold and tickle your funny bone with TRUE STORIES & Other Stuff That Probably Isn’t!

toy give-aways. [R18]
