Comedy Festival madness continues!

And so the Comedy Festival madness continues! We have farewelled Penny, Barnaby and Jamie who are all off to do seasons in Auckland - if you are up there, make sure you check out their hilarious shows.

BATS favourites WIT and Natalie Medlock return with their own unique brands of comedy fun from Tuesday, and we are also hosting the stage debut of YouTube phenomenon Matt Mulholland from Wednesday. We weren't quite prepared for just how much of a phenomenon he actually is, so get yourself on a waiting list, or book in for the 11pm Saturday show which is the only night with seats left!

And remember to save up your pocket money because we have another three wicked shows opening next week! Details below.

See you at the theatre!
