The Wellington Pun Battle: Round 2

Sold Out: This event has sold out in pre-sales, but never fear! There are still tickets available for the semi-finals available on Thurs 27 and Fri 28th July. Tickets here! https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2017/the-wellington-pun-battle-semi-finals/wellington

Get ready to groan! Wits have been sharpened, wea-puns will be wielded, funny bones may well be broken. Will our competitors pun-ble under the pressure?!

After a sold-out and truly cringe-worthy show earlier this year, the Wellington Pun Battle is back in August, with worse word-play than ever before.

Come along on August 4th at 8 pm to see Wellington’s smartest alecks, wordiest nerds and biggest pun-ks, punslingers and pun-dits battle it out in an intense and hilarious head-to-head pun-off. With over $400 cash prize money on the line, you could say that the stakes are pun-ishing.

Our 2017 will be judged by our last winner Matt Powell, and referred by over-enthusiastic gender-mess HuGo Grrrl.

Expect utter pundemonium as we decide once and for all if the pun is mightier than the sword. Because, as we all know, a good pun is its own re-word.

Enter Now! Why not give it a pun-t! There's $400 in prize money to be won. Are you a writer, improviser, comedian, or are your friends just really sick of your incessant and unsolicited word-play? Come to a place where your genius will be appreciated. First in, first serve. Email g.m.c.fowler@gmail.com to confirm your spot.
