December 2022 Newsletter

Merry Christmas everyone.

We haven’t put one of these newsletters out for a while, but we’ve recovered from the worst of the summer rain, crawled out of our caves and are excited to launch our summer series.

What do we have for you?

Two recurring indoor events each month that started last Winter and two a week in Parks. What’s the difference? The comedy is much the same, indoor is warmer with bar and sometimes food service while parks have a better supply of fresh air at the risk of being rained out occasionally hmmm.

Park Comedy

This season we are continuing with Potters Park, Heard Park Parnell, Selwyn Reserve Mission Bay and we’ve moved from the dog park to outside the Pt Chev library plus we’ve added back Jellicoe Park in Onehunga.

Our next two gigs are on the 27th & 28th of December then we continue through the summer,

August 2022 Newsletter

We haven’t put one of these newsletters out for a while, but we’ve recovered from the worst of the winter cold, crawled out of our caves and are excited to launch our spring series.

What do we have for you?

Three recurring indoor events that started in August and four in Parks beginning mid September. What’s the difference? The comedy is much the same, indoor is warmer with bar and sometimes food service while parks have a better supply of fresh air at the risk of being rained out occasionally.

Park Comedy

We’re doing a preview on 13 September as part of Auckland Fringe with our full programme starting in the last week of the month once daylight savings cuts in.

This season we are starting with Potters Park, Heard Park Parnell, Selwyn Reserve Mission Bay and we’ve moved from the dog park to outside the Pt Chev library.

Poetry & Music

We’ve recently starting hosting poetry and music open mics at Cafe Oro in Glen Eden. For us it’s an experiment and we’re learning as we go.

So far we’ve done one of each. What we’ve learned is that poetry is practically the same set-up on the night as comedy line-ups while music takes considerably more time to set up for the evening but once set-up runs in a very similar way to poetry.

Promoting these nights to potential audiences is a bit harder & we’re thinking it would be reasonable to expect an audience size a bit smaller than for comedy but for areas where it is unreasonable to expect a weekly comedy show to last they provide a great way to fill those empty seats on quiet nights.
