Jarred Christmas (NZ/UK)
One of NZ's funniest exports is back home full of passion and charisma. Jarred has starred on TV3's 7 Days, Funny Roots, Comedy Convoy and TVNZ's Year in the Life!
**** "One of the funniest men to pick up a microphone" TimeOut, UK
"Likeable, intelligent and full of unpredictable energy" The Scotsman

Urzila Carlson (SA/NZ)
After unsuccessfully trying to convince several African nations for three decades that she is in fact African royalty, Urzila decided to move to New Zealand where the people are easy going and more inclined to believe her lies. As seen on TV3's hit show 7 Days. "One of the best" NZ Herald

Ian D Montfort (UK)
Straight from recording a series at the BBC, Montfort is a psychic medium (comedium) loved by believers
and sceptics alike. Whether you think he's a spoof or real, lan's gifts are hilarious and mind-blowing.
***** The Telegraph, UK * * * * * TimeOut, UK

Titty Bar Ha Ha (UK)
Strap in as they regale you with twisted tales of debauchery & depravity, naughty balloon modelling, buppetry, and, of course, original songs & sharp vocals.

The Boy With Tape On His Face (NZ)
The Boy with Tape On His Face has won the hearts and minds of the critics and public alike. This is stand-up with no talking, drama with no acting and punchlines with no words.
