A Standup Comedy Tour That Hits Harder Than a Strapped Bald Eagle Eating a Footlong Hotdog!
Otago, you’ve had it too good for too long. Now it’s time for a full-blown comedy takeover as a squadron of unfiltered, slightly deranged American comedians descend on the South Island with jokes as sharp as their accents.
Next stop: The Cargo Collective in Queenstown on Friday, November 14th. Prepare yourself for a night of heavy-hitting stand-up from four U.S. comics who didn't come all this way (technically from the BOP) to behave.
The filthy yanks performing:
- MC: CJ Pierson – This tall lanky doofus of a ringleader is charmingly unpolished, with a flair for turning everyday moments into memorable laughs.
- Ryan Smagalski – A strong American coffee brew with even stronger opinions, buckle up buttercups.
- Kathy Wilson – Brutal, brilliant, and possibly banned in several states.
- Headliner: Jimmy Pete – A raw, no-holds-barred comedy beast whose stories are as wild as your uncle’s conspiracy theories.
- Featuring special American guest and Otago's own Molly Force
Tickets: $30
Venue: The Cargo Collective - Queenstown
Showtime: 7:30PM (OPEN MIC 6PM)
R18 – Absolutely No Kids, No Sensitivity, No Karens, No Refunds
The Americans have landed. Otago may never recover. Grab your tickets before they sell out — because this kind of invasion only happens once (legally)
Want to give it a go or know someone funny? Standup Open Mic starts before the show at 6pm. Email [email protected] if you want to be on the lineup
