The Humble King of Comedy. Wellington born Samoan, Tofiga Fepulea’i, has graced screens and stages across NZ and beyond for more than 20 years. Audiences have been delighted by his standup comedic genius, acting and musicianship. Tofiga first rose to stardom as one half of the iconic The Laughing Samoans, alongside Eteuati Ete. His last show at this venue sold out fast during 2021 NZ International Comedy Festival so book now!
Tofiga’s inspirations are drawn from his old-school upbringing in Samoa, his experiences as a Pacific Islander in New Zealand, and also, his transition into fatherhood with three young teenage sons.
This show also features two incredible opening acts: James Nokise is an award-winning comedian, versatile speaker, acclaimed theatre maker, playwright, columnist, renowned social commentator. Winner of The Fred Award (2021).
Bubbah is a Samoan-New Zealand comedian with a wicked sense of humor and no filter. She was most recently a contestant on Taskmaster NZ.
Getting there Te huarahi ki reira

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.
