10 comedians. 100s of jokes. 1000s of laughs.

We called it Best Comedy Show on Earth which is a big call, but we stand by it. This is your Sunday-night showcase stacked with Festival & future favourites – quick sets, sharp turns, and a room full of people having the best time.

Hosted by Jack Tucker (yes, that Jack Tucker), this one’s built for maximum fun with a rotating mix of top-tier acts (local and international) doing their sharpest stuff back-to-back. No filler. No fuss.

Bring a date, bring your mate, bring the group chat – you’ll find your next Festival fave in one hit.

Line-up to be announced, but trust us: you do not want to miss this.

Recommended 15+.

Presented by the NZ Comedy Trust as part of the NZ International Comedy Festival with Best Foods Mayo, on from 1 – 24 May in Auckland and Wellington.
