Great judgement exercised  so that we laughed with and not at the cost of anyone.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Show: Comedy on Stage

Organising these events always comes with a degree of apprehension, and Rotarians can often be rather critical and discerning event attendees. My husband and I have had numerous letters and emails regarding our conference as a whole, with particular mention of your group.

So a huge thank you for the atmosphere you all engendered from the moment you set the scene, I know the night would not have been as memorable without your expertise. Certainly we, along with many others, will be looking forward to seeing you perform at future Rotary and other functions.

Show: Character Actors

Both the Actors  were very  good (especially with a tough crowd and limited brief on group) …funny keeped crowd entertained.

Show: Coach Characters

As MC you did a superb job and I enjoyed the evening as much as anyone as at no time did I feel apprehensive or that you didn’t have the evening well in hand. From the moment you appeared at the DG’s drinks you had people captivated. We received a number of enquiries as to who your group was so I have given them your name and Pete McGregor as a contact.

Good luck in the future and I can assure you that you will come highly reccommended from us.  Thanks again Clare for a job well done.

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF IMPROV

From the company that brought you Austen Found, Enid Untold and Instant Anatomy comes an improvised magical tale in the style of The Wonderful World of Disney. Wicked Witches, Prince Charmings and talking fish will take you on a magical carpet ride to a whole new world under the sea or perhaps to Infinity and Beyond.

Using suggestions from the audience these experienced improvisers will weave a fantastical story to delight the child in everyone with their Goofy shenanigans. No one knows where the story will go next but one thing’s for certain, it will have you laughing and enthralled as off to work they go.

ConArtists have been cracking the crack-ups for over 20 years now. Their members include some of the original TheatresportsTM players in New Zealand in Clare Kelso, Geoff Dolan, Lori Dungey and Nigel Burrows along with Penny Ashton, Allan Roberts, Scott Sinclair and new up and coming stars of the scene in Robert Mingault, Eli Matthewson, Chris Neels and Hamish Parkinson. Their long-form style improv shows Austen Found: The Undiscovered Musicals of Jane Austen, Enid Untold: Five Go Mad on Improv and Instant Anatomy have been a huge hit and brought a whole new style of Improv to a wider audience.

WE’RE HIMBOS FOR HILARITY AND FLOOZIES FOR THE FUNNIES

After the stonking four year sell-out success of Sex, Lies and Improvise, those Improv aficionados ConArtists are back with a brand new show to give you a funny boner. You’ll be gagging for their gags as old hands and young bucks “come” together to deliver the sort of slick and hilarious show that ConArtists are known for.

Using audience suggestions they will mine comedy gold on the spot to produce hysterical storylines that no one could predict. One thing is for sure however, it’ll be quick, it won’t cost much and the laughs will come easy.
