TICKETS: https://events.humanitix.com/country-boy-city-slicker-callum-wagstaff-and-oliver-polCALLUM WAGSTAFF: Hailing from the wilds of Normanby (population 1100), he will chew on bit of straw at any opportunity - a country boy through and through.
OLIVER POL: Pounding the mean streets and steep hills of Wellington all his life, somehow never becoming a civil servant, but a city slicker, nevertheless.
What will happen when their worlds collide? Will they fight to see if the country or city reigns supreme? No, they won’t. They’ll do a split-bill hour of standup comedy and it’ll be pretty fun.
Callum Wagstaff:
A standout on the Aotearoa comedy circuit, known for his offbeat charm, punchy writing, and relentless gigging across the North Island. Originally from Taranaki, Callum has picked up multiple accolades, including Best Comedian three years running at the Comedy Hub Awards and Best Out-of-Towner at the Wellington Comedy Awards. With a distinctive comedic voice that turns the bizarre into brilliant, he’s an act with serious momentum.
“Callum’s awkward physicality and tales of shopping in Hawera have us doubled over.” - Theatreview
-Nominated Best Comedian Nelson Fringe 2024
-Runner-up, National Raw Comedy Quest 2022
Oliver Pol:
A youngish, tallish Wellingtonian standup who performs with an irrepressible, limb-flailing energy.
As a natural overthinker with an interest in the most trivial corners of popular culture, Oliver combats his varied fears and insecurities by embracing the virtues of silliness.
His comedy thrives on unusual observations and a sense of good-natured chaos.
