DANNY BHOY - SOLD OUT in Wellington

Extra Show Announced. APRIL FOOLS!

It¹s no joke. Danny Bhoy has all but SOLD OUT his two advertised shows at The Opera House in Wellington on Fri 13 & Sat 14 May at 8-30pm. Only limited seats remain. So, due to public demand, a third and final DANNY BHOY show has been added on Sat 14 May at 5pm at The Opera House. And this EXTRA SHOW goes ON SALE this Friday , April 1st at 9am at Ticketek and usual outlets.

Ticket sales for his Christchurch show on May 12 are suspended, awaiting advice on an alternate venue.

Meanwhile, in Auckland, after the May 9 show at the Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna sold out, another was added on May 23, which has now also sold out. And an additional show has been added to the ASB Theatre at The Edge on May 17.

Danny Bhoy, one of the most sought after comedians working in the world today, returns to New Zealand with a national tour, headlining the annual NZ International Comedy Festival in May - performing in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch (pending venue), Hamilton, Hastings, Invercargill, New Plymouth and Oamaru.

2011 welcomes Danny¹s return to our shores with a brand new show, Messenger (please do not shoot). He is consistently one of the highest selling comedians in New Zealand, and since his last visit here in 2009, his worldwide reputation as one of the finest observational storytellers around has continued to flourish.

His recent time in the USA and Canada resulted in an hour-long Comedy Central Special and a highly prestigious turn on the David Letterman Show and saw him take on his first solo tour across North America. in Australia earlier this month, he performed four benefit shows in Sydney for Queensland flood relief.

http://www.dannybhoy.com/blog/ Described by one critic as ³the stand-up equivalent of Bill Bryson², Danny is a truly international comedian who is a master at uncovering those little quirks and idiosyncrasies about a country which others seem to miss. His new show ŒMessenger (please do not shoot.)¹ comes fresh off the back of a hugely successful tour of the UK performing in theatres up and down the UK, and filming a special one-off set at London¹s famous Apollo Theatre for the BBC. As always, audiences can expect more hilarious yarns from the globetrotting Scot, who regularly draws on his own life experiences as a source of rich comedy fodder.

³Bhoy remains in a class of his own.² The New Zealand Herald ³Subtle. Intelligent. Perceptive. And very, very funny.² The Scotsman ³He creates a remarkable intimacy with his audience. A must-see.² The Age, Australia Danny Bhoy clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GjdlJIBSL0&NR=1
