New York, Perth, Fiji, Invercargill – James Nokise’s been on the road, sharing his stories about New Zealand’s Gangs and Gangstas. He’s had adventures, learned new sayings, and made this hilarious new show about the strange people, places, and the languages that tie us together.
You’ll recognise James from his time on the small screen as part of TV3’s After Hours,Maori TV’s Waitangi Comedy Boil up & Crack up, TV 3 Comedy Gala and Ben and Steve World Famous in… Over the last couple of years he’s been killing the festival seasons in Edinburgh and Adelaide, commentating for Radio Live and 531 PI, as well as writing for Wellington’s political satire series, Public Service Announcements. Two time Billy T Nominee, 2013 FRED Nominee and 2013’s Best Male Comedian (NZ Comedy Guild Awards) and fresh back from sell-out season in Perth he’ll be one to watch this festival for sure.
So, come get “crunked” with the world’s most travelled Welsh/Samoan and professional “skux”. Because, as the Aussies say “We’re not here to f*** spiders”.
