Various Locations

Now in its 16th consecutive year the Festival has expanded to include 13 national centres with a comprehensive programme running in both Auckland and Wellington.

Each year the Festival has gone from strength to strength contributing to the development of NZ comedy on both a local and international level. Audiences have responded with gusto with a record number of 84,000 people who attended Festival shows in 2007. The development continues this year with the introduction of an all new Nickelodeon Kids Comedy Season aimed at 6-12 year olds.

The successful secondary school programme, Class Comedians (an initiative of the NZ Comedy Trust), returns for its eighth year with a mission to train up the next generation of kiwi comics.
