The New Zealand Comedy Trust presents – Te Whanganui-a-Tara Preview Show.
Wellington, kick off your month of comedy early – this is a one-night Festival sampler of big laughs in a packed Fringe Bar.
With Lesa Macleod-Whiting (Best MC, Comedy Guild Awards 2025) steering the ship, expect a hand-picked line-up that moves fast and hits hard: new favourites, familiar chaos, and the kind of “how do I see them again?” moments the Festival is built on.
Bring your mates, settle in for a proper laugh, and walk out feeling like Comedy Fest season has officially begun.
