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!
