Aucklanders Want A Piece Of Wilson Dixons American Dream!

Due to an overwhelming demand for tickets, Wilson Dixon has just announced there will be an extra Auckland performance at the NZ International Comedy Festival on Mother’s Day (Sunday May 9).

Since his 2009 total sell-out NZ Comedy Festival season of Wilson Dixon Saddle Sore, the cowboy philosopher has toured NZ with the Crunchie Comedy Convoy and The Comedy Christmas Gala and premiered Wilson Dixon's American Dream to rave reviews and sell-out audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe, he also appeared on Loose Ends on BBC 4 alongside Griff Rhys Jones, Malcolm McLaren, Clive Anderson and Diana Quick. His own BBC Radio series The Wilson Dixon Line was played in May 2009 throughout the UK and has recently enjoyed a second transmission. Wilson comes direct to this years festival from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

“the great strength of this polished, understated, and amiable act is just how thoroughly the parody is carried through, with what affection and imperturbable skill” australianstage.com.au – 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

"Wilson Dixon is a construction of genius... As his masterful wordplay built to a climax, the suppressed laughter was palpable even before he finished each devastatingly astute couplet. His simple formula delivers consistently, and his full-bodied character allows for forlorn and wistful moments in an affectionate nod to the musical tradition which produced this comic creation."
