Comedy at the Boathouse

Bailey Poching is doing great.

One of Aotearoa's most exciting new comedic voices delivers his critically acclaimed solo show, digging into grief, avoidance, and the absurd notion of convincing everyone you're okay.

Bailey is a star on the rise - featuring in Netflix's North of North, 7 Days and winner of Best Debut at the NZ International Comedy Festival.

A constant sellout hit - award-wnning comedian and journalist, James Nokise, returns has a brand new rant for 2026. With the same targets; our unpopular politicians - with their clumsy and cartoonish shenanigans. With his deep-cutting, jam-packed deconstructions of the headline-inducing people and politicies, Nokise will get you cheering and jeering at the state of the nation all while laughing along at just how farcical things have become.

CHOOKS is a riot of comedy, cabaret, clowning and gloriously unhinged chicken impressions. Join passionate chicken farmer Bridget and her netball team as they bring Las Vegas razzle-dazzle to rural Aotearoa. Expect rapid-fire sketches, show-stopping songs and hilarious dance routines in a wild, weird and wonderful celebration of women who refuse to disappear, settle down or behave themselves. Directed by Tessa Water.
