Location Te wāhi
Aotea Centre
Returning with An Evening with Fran Lebowitz, the star of Martin Scorsese's hit Netflix documentary series Pretend It's a City unleashes her chain-smoking, coffee-drinking New Yorker bite on a world falling ever more deeply into depravity, sucked along in the wake of Trump 2.0.
Weaving a cautionary tale for our society, and never short of an opinion—from politicians to AI and people who walk too slowly to billionaires—Fran has for decades lambasted the abhorrent and ridiculous with wit and wisdom in equal measure.
Come for the candour, stay for the cynicism – and leave vastly more entertained.
Getting there Te huarahi ki reira
The Aotea Centre is a short walk up Queen Street from Britomart station, and the Civic car park is conveniently located beside the venue if you’re driving.
Local tip He tīwhiri mō te rohe
Check out the sculpture of celebrated Kiwi opera singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa which sits on Level 3 of the Aotea Centre. It was created by local artist Terry Stringer and unveiled by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa herself when the auditorium was named in her honour in 2019.
