What's On

Grifted & Talented with Jim Fishwick
 

It’s the show that puts the CON into talent CONtest! 
 
Join an eclectic mix of comedians, musicians, and improvisers as they take part in a good ol’fashioned talent show. Expect songs, magic, party tricks, circus skills, and more! 
 
The only catch? None of the contestants know what their talent will be until they hit the stage. In order to win, they’ll need to convince everybody else that this skill is something they can definitely do. 
 
Don’t miss this new twist on an old-school variety show, for fans of Taskmaster, Would I Lie To You, and Game Changer. 

Hosted and created by Jim Fishwick (The Saboteur, contributing writer for NZ Taskmaster and Only Connect), and special guests:

Wednesday 14 May: AJ Lamarque, Gemima Jones, Jordana Wegman 

Thursday 15 May: Juliet Timmerman, Montaigne, Sam Wade 

Friday 16 May: Alex The Astronaut, Guneet Kaur, Kat Hoyos 

“Grifted & Talented is a riot – a rare show that makes you want to book again for the remaining performances, and to keep enjoying that uncertain space between victory and abject failure.” - Flat City Field Notes 

“Radiating with joy and delight — not to be missed!” – Jess, audience member 

“Hilarious… treat yourself to a fun night out!” – Jacki, audience member

    MJ the Musical takes you on an immersive experience, like a montage of Michael’s memories and influences leading up to his ‘Dangerous’ tour.

    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
