Greg Murphy to be Roasted by the Best
Greg Murphy to be Roasted by the Best
Four-time Bathurst winner and Kiwi motorsport legend Greg ‘Murph’ Murphy will be the subject of a live roast in an entertaining event to be held in Auckland in November.
The Greg Murphy Comedy Roast will be headlined by some of Murph’s fiercest on track competitors and will be hosted by comedian and television personality Paul Ego.
The Roast will be an opportunity for some of the biggest names in V8 Supercars to give it back to Murph who raced as competitively as any driver in the modern era of car racing.
“I’m not sure what to expect on the night but I’m up for it and expect to be on the receiving end of some good natured ribbing,” Murphy said.
The event is being organised by Mike Pero Real Estate and SKYCITY who have both been long standing sponsors of Murphy’s various motorsport campaigns.
“I’ve followed Murph’s career for over 20 years and like so many in New Zealand, consider him a legend. Not all drivers set records at Bathurst like Murph has. It’s great to be able to put together a night like this where we can honour his achievements and also have a laugh” said organiser Mike Pero.
The final list of roasters will be confirmed by mid-September.
The Greg Murphy Comedy Roast is an R18 event and will be held at SKYCITY twentyone on 4 November between 7 and 11pm. It coincides with the promotion of Greg’s upcoming book.
Tickets are available at only $69pp at www.mikepero.com/murph
