A MASSIVE NIGHT OF JOKES AND SONGS AND MORE JOKES
One night. One iconic room. Comedy and music, together at last. The NZ International Comedy Festival and NZ Music Month Te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa present Pōneke House Party, a massive night of jokes, songs and surprise special guests at Wellington’s Opera House, Sunday 17 May, 6pm.
Co-headlined by Topp Prize-winning comedy great, Tofiga Fepulea'i, and country music’s finest, Tami Neilson, this is a full-scale celebration of Aotearoa’s comedy and music scenes, sharing the same stage for one loud, loose, good-spirited night where anything can happen.
Hosted by James Nokise, and held together by house band The Funkadelics, this once in a lifetime show also features comedians Justine Smith (Taskmaster), Michele A’Court (7 Days), Rhys Mathewson (7 Days); musical comedians Wilson Dixon (Fred Award winner, 2010) and Karen O’Leary (Wellington Paranormal); musicians Samuel Flynn Scott and Luke Buda (The Phoenix Foundation), rising opera/RnB talent LILA JNR (World of WearableArt) and indie rock four-piece Dropper. Many more acts and special surprise guests to come.
Expect comedy, music, comedy and music, tap-dancing, saxophones in the spotlight, and more. Much more.
All profits from the event will be donated to the Mayoral Flood Relief Fund, supporting those impacted by the recent flooding in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
