 BRAD ZIMMERMAN & CRUZANNE MACALISTER: JETLAGGED at Club Ivy, The Garden Club, 13B Dixon St reviewed by Mel Camp 13 May 2010 |
|
As tedious as it is grating Jetlagged opens with an utterly depressing half hour set from Brad Zimmerman. The fresh-faced Zimmerman manages to cover all the most predictable topics in New Zealand stand-up, from Helen versus John, to the Australian accent and all the yawn-inducing clichés in between.

 JOEL SALOM’S GADGETS at Downstage Theatre reviewed by John Smythe 12 May 2010 |
|
Vibrant, inventive and hugely entertaining Joel Salom comes to comedy from a Circus Oz juggler and ‘funny man’ background, to which he adds an ingenious talent for creating electronic gadgets – hence the title of his show. [more] |
 CORBETT & EGO LIVE: RADIO (NZ) at Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre, The Edge reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe 12 May 2010 |
|
Close – very close!! Not surprisingly, Jeremy Corbett and Paul Ego have produced the perfect night out for people who love commercial radio. Slightly too ‘in house’in its current form to reach a broad audience, these two experienced giants of the airwaves, telly and stand up comedy circuit have the undeniable talent and craft to build this entertaining yet under-rehearsed two-hander into an extremely funny play.

Audience a charity case, Chopper a philanthropist If you’ve got a sense of humour and you’ve not got a ticket, get one. If only to save face for New Zealand’s comedy-going public [see below]. [more] |
 VAUGHAN KING: 0 TO 20 IN 60 MINUTES (NZ) at The Classic Studio reviewed by Lillian Richards 12 May 2010 |
|
High-quality provincial Kiwi performance The show is a virtual tour of the small towns of New Zealand that housed, fought with and abided Vaughan King on his way towards Auckland to try his hand as a stand up comedian. [more] |
 TJ MCDONALD: A MâORI ATE MY GREAT GRANDDAD (NZ) at The Classic Studio reviewed by Lillian Richards 12 May 2010 |
|
Funny, astute and intelligent T J McDonald – a Billy T Award nominee – has crafted a very well put together show. It’s coherent and clever, intelligent and friendly and whilst it deals with personal material it is not just an hour of self-therapy. [more] |
 CLAYTON CARRICK-LESLIE: BRING IT (NZ) at Comedy Underground, 305 Queen St reviewed by Sian Robertson 12 May 2010 |
|
Generous and multi-talented Clayton Carrick-Leslie is charmingly self-deprecating as he shares with us the trials and tribulations of primary school, and confides in us about his fear of supermarkets. [more] |
 BURLESQUE AS YOU LIKE IT – THE BLUSH REVIEW at Crunchie Comedy Chamber, Town Hall reviewed by Megan Smith 12 May 2010 |
|
Fun, talent and energy sans je ne sais quoi Red stocking legs dangling mid-air, a sexy female singer wearing a red sequinned lace dress drapes seductively over a black shiny piano, a trio male chorus support her breathy Eartha Kitt rendition…. what a delightful beginning! [more] |
 TARUN MOHANBHAI: TARUN TALKS WEDGES at Limelight Lounge, Aotea Centre reviewed by Rachael McKinnon 12 May 2010 |
|
A natural entertainer Tarun’s easy-going self-deprecating humour takes him a long way as he talks about some of the ridiculous sides of daily life. From his vantage point of Cellphone Salesman-cum-Comedian there is a plethora of idiocies of which to make fun. [more] |
