"A bemused cultural commentator with a renegade outlaw streak’" ★★★★ The Scotsman

The show will be hosted by our very own Kiwi Irishman, ALAN McELROY, (@alanmcelroy) originally from Dublin before escaping to New Zealand where he now regularly headlines shows at The Classic Comedy Club and beyond.

The producer behind the show, Scott Blanks who is also the director of The Classic Comedy Club in Auckland is very excited about , once again, bringing the International comedians to venues beyond Auckland and Wellington. “It was a regular tour prior to the Covid years providing international comedians with a chance to see more of New Zealand so it’s about time we got back to ‘funny business as usual’ at the other great venues available around the country”.
