ConArtists - The home of Theatresports™

Over 22 years ago, when legwarmers and hair gel ruled the world, a company was born. ConArtists - The home of Theatresports™, kicked into life in 1987 and has never looked back. Since then their hair may have calmed down BUT their enthusiasm to make you laugh has not, and they have become one of the most trusted and successful entertainment companies in New Zealand. Employing the country’s best comedy improvisers, ConArtists will turn your conference, corporate training or event into a professional, energised and enjoyable experience.

Christmas Shows

ConArtists present:

christmas madnessChristmas Madness

Have Mrs Claus and her truant elves, Stinky and Howard host your Christmas Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. Everyone gets to sit on Mrs Claus’ ample knee and receive a gift, even if you’ve been naughty.

Then you’ll host a jolly fun Christmas theme competition where your guests play the: One-Armed Present Wrap OR Decorate Your Workmate as a Christmas Tree.

We even have the offical “Christmas Quiz” which determines who goes to the buffet first.

If there are presents to be given out we’ll be more than happy to do that. Following the Christmas repast Santa’s little helpers will perform some Christmas skits with a Comedy on Stage show.

It’s guaranteed to have your guests shaking with mirth and merriment. We can finish it off with a good old-fashioned Christmas Carol session.

sopranosChristmas with the Sopranos

Ho, Ho, Ho, Argh!

Put your petty family differences and semi-automatics aside. Join Mama Fettucino and her son Guiseppe Jr. for their festive celebrations.

People create their own mob names based on their favourite way of “whacking” their competition.

Mama is on the hunt for a good wife for Junior and will host a lively version of Blind-match. Three of your companies most eligible bachelorettes have a real shot at matrimony. Laugh yourself to death! Just kidding.

(Design your “family” wine label. Design a Christmas card for your loved ones.)

elmaChristmas breakfast with Elma & Velna

Our tea ladies will bring their own Christmas cheer to ensure everyone eats the most important meal of the day.

Need advice on your love life, health, better car mileage? Did you know you could store your fragile Christmas ornaments in an egg carton?

They’ll try some match making to make sure everyone enjoys the holidays with someone. With some jolly poems, songs and skits they’ll make sure people are awake and ready to work.

twasT’was the night

Santa or Mrs Claus take to the sea in a pirate ship, joined by the scurvy elf-mates, just haul up the anchor and set sail to a festive paradise.

This merry band will lead the group in a carol sing along and have them rolling on the deck with skits and songs about Christmas cheer. They’ll also be able to tell Santa what they really want and then receive nothing like it.

kiwiThe Great Kiwi Christmas

Mem and Dad, a Kiwi Farming couple, host a Kiwi Christmas with all the trimmings.

Gum Boot Throwing, unexpected relis and parlour games take us back to old fashioned fun. Gidday!

Great for a harbour cruise.
