Hello Comedy Showcase

After 2 sell out shows Hello Comedy is back to bring their next stand-up show to Whanganui!

This time we are bringing one of NZ’s funniest to town. Justine Smith is a multi award winning comedy veteran who regularly appears on The Project, 7 Days and stages all over the country. You've seen her on Taskmaster NZ but don’t miss your chance to see her live in the River City.

Hosted by Wellington comedy legend Jerome Chandrahasen. Jerome is a regular performer in the NZ International Comedy Festival, the NZ Fringe, and has MC'd countless events around the country.

After turning people away from their last show Hello Comedy has found a new home at the War Memorial Centre's Concert Chamber which will include a curated bar showcasing craft beer from local brewery LADS.

Also appearing are Wellington comedians Laura Bruce and Esme Putt as well as Whanganui RAW Comedy winner Vik Batra
