NZ Comedy Festival -Joel Vinsen: Gormless

Joel Vinsen: Gormless

Weird, dark, filthy and extremely silly, Joel Vinsen delivers dumb/smart comedy in his signature deadpan style. Expect scandal, a short cameo from a particularly kinky octopus, and a sh*tload of big laughs. This is not your standard stand-up, and this is definitely NSFW. Consider yourself warned.

"Hahaha, that's so stupid"
"Watch Michael McIntyre instead; far less bad language and disgusting subjects"

Finalist 2022 National Raw Quest
Comic Originality Nominee 2022 & 2023, New Zealand Comedy Guild Awards

Our fully licensed bar opens one hour before the show begins so come and have a drink before the show.

Private Dick

Private Dick

An unscripted film noir classic. There’s a smoking gun, somebody’s dead. Who? Why? Who did it? Private Dick is on the case. Witness the 1940’s film noir brought to life on stage.

Mystery, intrigue, double-crossings where no one can be trusted. One thing for certain – it’s rip-roaring yarn that you don’t wanna miss!

AIF - Between Jokes

Between Jokes!

The format is based on a Spanish saying: "Entre broma y broma la verdad se asoma/Between a joke and a joke the truth arises." A classic children’s joke appears on the screen behind the performers (or from a slip of paper), they read it aloud and then create a scene based in the reality the joke proposes. A skeleton may mourn the loss of its ghoulfriend, or a bicycle might quit its job because it’s two-tired, all with loving playful gravitas. Very silly but very sweet.

AIF - Collage (Soundpainting ensemble)

Soundpainting is the universal multidisciplinary live composing sign language for musicians, actors, dancers, and visual Artists.

Presently (2023) the language comprises more than 1500 gestures that are signed by the Soundpainter (composer) to indicate the type of material desired of the performers. The creation of the composition is realized, by the Soundpainter, through the parameters of each set of signed gestures. The Soundpainting language was created by Walter Thompson in Woodstock, New York in 1974.

The Soundpainter (the composer) standing in front (usually) of the group communicates a series of signs using hand and body gestures indicating specific and/or aleatoric material to be performed by the group.

The Soundpainter develops the responses of the performers, molding and shaping them into the composition then signs another series of gestures, a phrase, and continues in this process of composing the piece.

The Soundpainter composes in real time utilizing the gestures to create the composition in any way they desire. The Soundpainter composes with what happens in the moment, whether expected or not.

The ability to compose with what happens in the moment, in real time, is what is required in order to attain a high level of fluency with the Soundpainting language.

AIF - Double Bill: The Secret Life of Cats / Love

The Secret Life of Cats


Experienced improvisers Linda Calgaro & Daniel Allen play out the relationship we have with our pets. Not all pets, just cats, because cats are hilarious! Come along and tell us your favourite fur-ball’s character traits and quirks. From here, Dan and Linda will reveal how life would be if your cat could talk. A show about relationship, love, cheekiness and staring blankly into space.

Cast: Linda Calgaro & Daniel Allen


Love


Cupid has forgotten everything, so they need your help to learn about Love.

The meet/cute. That romantic spark fuels the fire of a new connection. The die-hard resolution of holding a friend’s hair back when they’ve drunk too much. The patience of dealing with a family crisis. The comfort of sitting in silence with your soul mate.

We provide the playlist, you provide Cupid with your best memories that are stoked by those songs, and the improvisers use your memories as a platform to jump into scenes about Love. Then, you help Cupid define what Love is, based on the scene you’ve just seen. If you do, you might even receive a heart to take home.

A new ensemble will come together for the Auckland festival premiere, a night of improvisation that will leave you feeling all the warm and fuzzy feels.
