TAURANGA'S LONG-WEEKEND HOME OF LIVE COMEDY!
21 DEVONPORT ROAD • 23-25 OCTOBER 2020
It's time for a damn good laugh, so join us this long-weekend for Tauranga's first ever pop-up comedy club!
​
Featuring some of NZ's leading comedians and the brightest up and comers, book your spot to see the star's full hour shows and then stick around for the Late Laughs lineup show.
It's time to bring a big-city comedy club setup to Tauranga!
​
Turning a vacant space in the CBD into a purpose built comedy club, you will feel like you're in
the Comedy Cellar in New York or The Comedy Store in LA.
Featuring a bar with refreshments, a mix of cabaret and theatre-style seating and an intimate setting, this will be the perfect spot to enjoy your long-weekend with some much-needed shenanigans.
​
PLUS! Tie in dinner at one of the awesome restaurants in town before or after your show with one of our partner deals and make it the ultimate night out in the city!
