Advertisement
An evening of opinions and ideas from a diverse group of speakers, hosted with an irreverent deft touch by comedian James Nokise, all centred around a simple question: What's wrong with Wellington?
No idea is too small, no concept too big, the premise is simple, the answers as complicated as the guests require. A different lineup each night, for a colourful collection of insights.
James Nokise is an internationally award-winning Comedian, Theatremaker, and Podcaster with a history of innovative work in the NZ Fringe Festival, including Rukahu, Faovale Imperium, We Built This City, and Puppet Fiction.
