2017 NZ International Comedy Festival

The NZ International Comedy Festival powered by Flick Electric Co hits a quarter century this April and it looks as though we’ve never needed comedy more. As others are closing borders, we are opening our arms to performers from all over the world. Here are some of the wittiest talents who've come all the way to New Zealand to give an extraordinary amusement and world-class entertainment at this year's NZ International Comedy Festival.

Auckland:
- Aunty Donna - Big Boys
- Ed Byrne - Outside Looking In
- Guy Williams - Why Am I Like This?
- Daniel Sloss - So?
- Zoe Lyons - Little Misfit
- Justine Smith - An Hour Roughly

Wellington:
- Urzila Carlson - Studies Have Shown
- Nazeem Hussain - Public Frenemy
- Guy Montgomery - Let's All Get In a Room Together
- Paul Foot - 'Tis A Pity She's A Piglet

Along with this celebration is this year's most awaited event, the Flick Electric Co. Comedy Gala hosted by Urzila Carlson happening in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Comedy duo The Bitches’ Box are leaving the comfort of the woolsheds behind to take on the big city, appearing for the first time ever at this year’s NZ International Comedy Festival with their latest show, Sons of A Bitch heading down to Auckland and Wellington.

Full line-up of the Comedy Fest will be announced on March 1st unless you are a lucky Flick customer who gets to see it the day before and receives a flickload of exclusive and glittery extras before April 21st.
