Raybon... Kan Touch This
Saturday 5th September An uproarious evening of stand-up comedy, designed to liberate the mind and dispatch sacred cows to the barbecue. In the age of cancel culture, will Raybon be Kancelled?
When unspeakable is a dare, when flames attract moths, when sending a tweet can feel like self-testing a parachute — Raybon will give touchy subjects the kind of careful touching often associated with overworked courier drivers or eager intestinal surgeons. |

Raybon has performed at major comedy festivals including Melbourne, Edinburgh and the prestigious Just for Laughs in Montreal. When magazines still existed, he was named Best Comedian by Metro and North & South.

Hopetoun Brown
Saturday 10th October Hopetoun Brown light up the night, their antique wind instruments shrieking wildly, evoking the spirit of New Orleans funeral processions or futuristic funk jams. |
This is Supergroove’s horn section. Expect electric pianos, vibraphones and a van load of horns playing deep down bass lines and jumping sax licks like you’ve never heard! These New Zealand Music Hall of Fame inductees adore rare and antique acoustic instruments such the vibraphone and the bass clarinet, while embracing the bombastic power of the tuba, the tenor saxophone, trombones and multiple trumpets. They’ve teamed up with Finn Scholes, arguably one of the finest improvisers currently playing trumpet in New Zealand to form a unique and musically diverse act that can be at once tender and soulful while at times, anarchic and heavy.

Rail Land
Saturday 7th November A journey of the mind, through song and story, about New Zealand’s on-and-off again love affair with passenger rail. |
|
Equal parts tragedy, comedy, and personal memoir, Rail Land is a theatrical show that weaves the critically acclaimed songs of Anthonie Tonnon with synthesizer soundscapes, and soliloquy like story-telling. Along with touches like historical letters to the editor, and meticulous notes on taking Aotearoa’s surviving public railways, Rail Land is a story of human enterprise, sabotage, obsession and hope.
The show also travels with an exhibition of historic NZ Rail Advertising Department posters and schematic maps, blown up to large scale.
Details to be confirmed.
