Comedy Festival The Festival started back in 1993 at the Watershed Theatre in Auckland, with 'three weeks of open slather comedy'. Audiences loved it and the Festival grew and grew into the massive annual event that it is today! The NZ International Comedy Festival is now an annual highlight on Aotearoa’s arts calendar; each year we showcase the best of local comedy and a taste of some of the world’s best. We expose audiences to a diverse range of high-quality live comedy, develop new comedy audiences, reflect NZer’s multi-culturalism and celebrate what makes us laugh as a nation. We encourage innovation in the development of comedy in New Zealand and encourage international promoters to see us as an important stop on international tours. At all levels of programming, the New Zealand Comedy Trust champions the values of accessibility and diversity, contributing to a culture of inclusion and celebration. Learn more about the NZ Intl.
