Festival Programme Survives the Ash Cloud

Festival organisers have announced today that only one show in the 2010 NZ International Comedy Festival is being cancelled due to international travel disruptions.

Festival Director Kylie Aitchison is delighted to confirm that the programme will go ahead as originally planned. NZ Comedian Benjamin Crellin is the only act to be cancelled with all other international comedians due to arrive tomorrow in time for the gala opening event.

The NZ International Comedy Festival opens this weekend and features 250 local and international performers.
