Get ready to groan! Witness the city's smartest alecks battle it out in this intense and hilarious head-to-head pun-off. It's a rap battle for dorks, it’s a competitive dad-joke show, it's going to be utter pundemonium.
After sold-out and truly cringe-worthy shows across the country, Pun Battle returns to Pōneke in 2025. With a total of over $1500 cash prize money on the line, you could say that the stakes are pun-ishing.
Created and hosted by the notorious Hugo Grrrl and featuring an all-star cast of punbelievable comic talent;
Jerome Chandrahasen
Timothy Keats
Joana Joy
Nina Hogg (Ginge)
Megan Connolly (Minge)
And more!
Refereed by the ravishing Blaise Clotworthy.
Guest judged by NZ Pun Battle Champion Peter Bailey.
This late-night Comedy Fest edition of Pun Battle runs for 90mins, no intermission.
You can also catch us in the big smoke at The Auckland Pun Battle in Comedy Fest, on Saturday May 17th, Q Rangatira, at 10pm.
Wits have been sharpunned. Weapuns will be weilded. Funny bones will be broken. Get your tickets now.
