The New Zealand International Comedy Festival presents – STAMPTOWN
This is not a “sit nicely and chuckle” comedy show. Stamptown is a raunchy, chaotic, 90 minute spectacle featuring the most exciting alternative performance from around the world.
Hosted by bad boy of clown, Zach Zucker, Stamptown is a five-time New York Times Top Comedy Pick (2021-2025) and has packed out rooms at Netflix Is A Joke, Just For Laughs, Edinburgh Fringe, Glastonbury, SXSW, Lincoln Center, Soho Theatre, MICF, and Off-Broadway – basically, anywhere people like their comedy sweaty, surprising, and slightly unhinged.
You’re not just watching a show, you’re getting swept up in it. Think big laughs, big swings, and the kind of show you have to bring friends to.
★★★★★ “The past, present and future of live entertainment rolled into one magnificently anarchic package” – Chortle
★★★★★ "An absolutely insane night of comedy that is impossible to replicate, which is what makes it such an appealing show to come back to” – Broadway World

★★★★ "Winningly helter-skelter late-night entertainment" – Guardian

★★★★ "An atmosphere of barely controlled chaos... this is the late night cabaret to see" – Telegraph

★ “Run for your life if anyone suggests going to see this irredeemably unfunny show.” – Dick Bath, Scottish Field
