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

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

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

    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
