5 COMEDIANS, 13 CITIES, 1 HELL OF A ROADTRIP
THE FESTIVAL’S FUNNIEST INTERNATIONAL & LOCAL COMEDIANS HIT THE ROAD FOR A ONE NIGHT STAND OF CRACKING GOOD COMEDY.
The Cadbury® Crunchie® Comedy Convoy hits the road once again, bringing 5 of the best local & international comedians to your town for one cracker comedy showcase.
TV3 regular Steve Wrigley leads the charge, with performances by Chris Brain (NZ), Hannah Gadsby (AUS), Eddie Ifft (USA) and Josh Thomas (AUS).
Winner of the 2008 Billy T Award, nominated for the prestigious Fred Award for comedic excellence and a regular guest on TV3’s ‘7Days’ & ‘@Seven’. Steve Wrigley is always a crowd favourite. After 5 years on the UK comedy circuit 2009 Billy T Award Winner Chris Brain has come home to NZ, bringing with him his own unique mix of cynicism and dark joy
Hannah Gadsby was first seen on NZ screens in 2008, in the TV2 Comedy Christmas Gala and has been called "deliciously awkward" by The Age (AUS). Returning to NZ shores just to perform in the Convoy, American Eddie Ifft is one of the most travelled comedians in show business having shared the stage with Dave Chapelle, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Robin Williams.
At the age of just 17, Josh Thomas was the youngest ever winner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s RAW Comedy Competition in 2005. Now with 4 years of professional gigs under his belt, Josh is touted as “the Future of Australian Comedy” (Time Off Magazine, Aus).
The Cadbury® Crunchie® Comedy Convoy is a hugely popular tour, so get in quick to secure your seat before the show sells out!
