The New Zealand Comedy Trust is thrilled to present this unmissable event, hosted by the brilliant Hayley Sproull – known for her work on ZM’s Fletch, Vaughan & Hayley Breakfast Show and TVNZ’s Have You Been Paying Attention? and The Great Kiwi Bake Off. A 2024 Fred Award finalist, Hayley has won acclaim across theatre, television, and radio, making her the perfect host for the funniest fest of the year!
Expect a lineup of top comedians from Aotearoa and beyond for a night packed with laughter at the Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre. With last year’s Gala a sold-out success, tickets are likely to go fast, so act now to secure your seats or give the perfect Christmas gift for the comedy lover in your life.
Proceeds support the New Zealand Comedy Trust, fostering new talent and growth in our local comedy scene. For corporate or group bookings, reach out to [email protected] to discuss bespoke options.
