Unmissable Comedy

Big Queer Improv Party 2 | Basement Theatre | 26-28 Feb, 8:30pm | Choose what you pay

Big Queer Improv Party 2 is a celebration of queer joy featuring a delightful cast of queer comedy superstars you’ll recognise from the stage and screen. Not only will this show fill your cup with joy and nonsense, it will also fill you with good vibes because every ticket sold raises money for our friends at Rainbow Youth!

All profits from this show are being donated to Rainbow Youth to support the amazing mahi they do for rangatahi, so don't just buy one ticket - buy two!  These tickets are 'Choose What You Pay' so you can literally choose how big of a donation you want to give to this incredible charity.

RainbowYOUTH welcomes you to ‘Dress with Pride’, a time for you to ‘get ready with us’ for the annual Auckland Pride March.

Pick out some clothes and makeup and even get a cute haircut. After that, eat some yummy kai and make some signs and badges with your friends to get you in the mood for the Auckland Pride March ahead! So, bring your crew through to prepare for the march in unity! 

Celebrate With Queer Art

Having it all all all | Gus Fisher Gallery | 21 Feb-10th May | Free 

Having it all all all is an exhibition of select video and performance art by international artists associated with the activism and identity politics of second-wave Feminism and its legacies. At a time when the autonomy of women’s bodies continue to be debated and co-opted as a tool for oppressive political agendas, we hope to probe consideration into these topics through a reflection of key artists and works that contribute to a dialogue of reclamation and empowerment through an intersectional Feminist lens. 

Featuring seminal works by Ana Mendieta (Cuba/USA), Howardena Pindell (USA), Pipilotti Rist (Switzerland), Martha Rosler (USA), Christa Schadt (Canada), Janice Tanaka (USA), Hannah Wilke (USA), Nil Yalter (Turkey) and more.

Accompanying the exhibition, Gus Fisher Gallery will deliver a dynamic and free public programme including bespoke performances, practical workshops and panel discussions.
