NZ Music Icon - Straightjacket Fits & Dimmer (to name a few)!

Shayne P Carter, subject of last year’s five star documentary Life In One Chord, completes an Australasian solo tour with a series of regional shows through the North Island in late March early April.

The tour mirrors last year’s highly successful South Island tour that Carter described as “a great opportunity to play places I normally don’t play with my band.”

“It was a fantastic excuse to drift through smaller communities and meet the local folk and to immerse myself in the awesomeness of the South Island,” he said “There are cool people everywhere and gigs like these seemed to serve as some sort of rallying point. I had a great time.”

Directly after performing at Australia’s famous BLUESFEST Byron Bay (featuring Earth Wind & Fire, Split Enz, Counting Crows…), Ben Catley returns for his 5th tour of New Zealand, bringing his high-energy, virtuoso guitar show to Monkey House Theatre, Whitianga.

With mesmerising acoustic guitar playing, big bluesy vocals and an ecstatic stage presence, Ben Catley pours every ounce of his soul into his live show. Having toured all across Australia, New Zealand and the UK many times over, he captivates audiences like few other solo artists.

His live show has become renowned for its finger-tapping guitar style, blistering riffs and driving grooves. With flavours of blues/roots/rock/folk, Ben weaves between both atmospheric soundscapes and huge upbeat energy, creating a diverse show of guitar craftsmanship.

He has performed on many huge international festival lineups across the world featuring the likes of The Doobie Brothers, Crowded House, Xavier Rudd, John Butler, Groove Armada and many more. He has also released tracks featuring Wim Hof, Ash Grunwald & Tijuana Cartel, and recently had his music licensed for a worldwide Ford campaign.

TICKETS HERE: https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2026/paul-ego-stick-solo-comedy-show/whitianga

It's taken 30 years of performing comedy for PAUL EGO to get off his butt and do a solo NZ tour, so this is both very exciting and long overdue! Well known for his many years as Team Captain on the TV show '7DAYS', Paul has also been part of award winning Breakfast Radio shows for both MoreFM and The Rock. However, his crowning achievement now seems to be voicing 'Stickman' for PAK’nSAVE - something he happily admits is "the best job he's ever had". 'STICK' is your chance to see "NZ's Top Professional Comedian" live onstage, delivering maximum laughs as he talks stickability, sticky situations and, of course, stick-men.

TICKETS HERE: https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2026/wilson-dixon-ben-hurley-waitangi-weekend-comedy/whitianga

We’ve got your Waitangi Weekend sorted – with a rare chance to see these two top-tier comedians doing what they do best, up close and in an intimate room built for laughs.

 Wilson Dixon is a master of the slow burn. Known for his deadpan delivery, razor-sharp observations and perfectly timed silences, Dixon’s comedy rewards anyone paying attention. His humour is dry, intelligent and quietly devastating — the kind that sneaks up on you, then lands harder the longer you think about it. Time Out says “deadpan delivery of some of the funniest songs you’ll ever hear” & according to The Guardian, he “packs more laughs into the allotted time than one would think possible”

Sharing the stage is the ever-brilliant Ben Hurley — one of New Zealand’s most loved comedy voices and a venue favourite. With his warm, relatable storytelling and lightning-fast wit, Hurley brings big laughs, sharp commentary and that unmistakable ability to make a room feel instantly at ease. Whether you’ve seen him on screen or live, you already know you’re in for a hilarious, high-energy set packed with crowd-pleasing punchlines.

This will sell-out so grab your tickets ASAP!
