Trygve Wins The Top Award At NZ International Comedy Festival

In case you haven't already heard, Trygve Wakenshaw - an internationally and critically acclaimed clown-mime - will bring his energetic and hilarious show, Nautilus, to Toitoi - Opera House on Friday 14 June, at 7pm.

On Sunday night, Trygve (who's originally from Hastings) won the top award at the 2024 New Zealand International Comedy Festival! The Fred Award is presented to the best show in the festival and was previously won by Trygve ten years ago.

Exploring the form of mime to its most idiosyncratic peripheries, his new show, Nautilus, is a salute to the human imagination.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see a Gaulier-trained clown, who has been touted the genre's "hip new icon" ( Guardian), performing at Toitoi this June.

"So magical, so delightfully playful. Wakenshaw leaves his audience slack-jawed with admiration" ( Scotsman).
