Celebrate a new generation of hilarity in heels as these vixens of NZ comedy take the stage to tickle your funny bone in all the wrong places. 2007 RAW Comedy national winner, Emma Olsen; Wellington favourite, Jim Stanton and newcomer, Sarah Harpur, are ‘The Comediettes!’

Playing five nights from February 24th at the newly branded Fringe Bar, 'The Comediettes' is the Fringe and world debut of this all female, all hilarious, new act.

These fresh faces of female funny mark an exciting transition for kiwi comedy. Dubbed by insiders as “ the next generation” of New Zealand standup, 'The Comediettes' is a show that provides a superb way to sample the work of these exciting new talents.

All hailing from Wellington, the city that gave us Flight of the Concords, Raybon Kan and every Billy T Award winner for the last three years; 'The Comediettes' embody the new wave of confident comedic expression that is flowing from the capital.

Each offering their own unique flavour of humor, this triple scoop serving of standup is a treat for any comedy connoisseur.
