Fergus Aitken & Li'i Alaimoana: Stand-Up Comedy

Two of Wellington’s comedy favourites are coming to Takaka and Nelson.

Fergus Aitken returns, this time with 2017 Billy T Award nominee Li’i Alaimoana – bringing an adults-only double-bill standup comedy show that will rock the house and leave you in stitches.

Fergus Aitken:
has achieved critical acclaim with his stand-up comedy shows, playing and MCing regularly at comedy clubs and events around NZ and beyond. In a varied comedy career spanning three decades and 15 countries, he has experienced many bizarre encounters with the truth… including several standing ovations at a nudist festival.

Recently he’s been refreshing a selection of adventures, fun facts and myths. With a stand-up comedy style based strongly in physical theatre and storytelling, he spins a yarn – and some of it’s even true.

“Manic physicality… knicker wettingly funny… Fergus Aitken is right up there with the best.” Theatreview

Li’i Alaimoana:
In under three years, Li'i has been nominated for several awards including Best Comedian (Wellington
Comedy Awards 2016), Best Gag (NZ Comedy Guild Awards 2017) and The Billy T Award (2017). His tour of NZ with fellow comedian Inosi Colavanua received rave reviews from the public, and he's a
regular on the Wellington and Auckland Comedy scene.

With a hilarious blend of stand-up and interactive, musical comedy, Li'i talks about his love as a parent, as a son, as a brother, and pretty much anything his wife wants him to dress up as.

“He reports insightfully and achieves rapport to the max...” - Theatreview
