The NZ International Comedy Festival presents
Crunchie Comedy Gala
The stars of comedy tickle the town red
The Hollywood event of NZ comedy returns to the stage and small screen for the 15th annual Crunchie Comedy Gala on Friday the 4th of May. Despite the gowns and glamour this popular Festival Event will abound with the best thigh slapping and side splitting humour from the international and local comedy scene.
Filmed live for TV, this fast paced 2 hour extravaganza showcases the very best of the comedy that will have NZ in stitches for the 3 weeks of madness to follow for the 2007 NZ International Comedy Festival.
Hosted by Irish Comedy Legend, Ardal O'Hanlon, star of the hit TV show "Father Ted", the Gala features the comedy crème de la crème including Ed Byrne (IRE), Carl Barron (AUS), Dai Henwood (NZ), Rich Hall (USA), Ewen Gilmour (NZ) and Phil Nichol (CAN). The groupies, celebs and fans of comedy are sure to be out in force for the stunning line-up of over 20 comedians in the 2007 Crunchie Comedy Gala.
Last year the Comedy Gala was a sellout event and the fastest selling event in the history of the Festival. With yet another hilarious and star studded line up, the 2007 Crunchie Comedy Gala promises to be the most sensational start to 3 weeks of outstanding comedy.
TICKETS GO ON SALE: 9am, Saturday 17 February
The Crunchie Comedy Gala plays on TV2 on Wed 9 and Fri 11 May at 9.30pm
