 DANNY BHOY 2006 NATIONAL TOUR at St James reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe 18 May 2006 |
|
Intelligent, witty, handsome, confident and cool He's world class, is our Danny. It's the mark of genius when a comedian uses the unrelenting heckles of a 'god-squad' nutter from the back row, hell-bent on ruining the evening, to strengthened his show. [more] |

RHYS DARBY & DAI HENWOOD IN THE EVERYMEN at Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre, The Edge reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe 24 May 2006 |
|
Blokey treat The Everymen is a rare treat. Two men unafraid to tackle some pretty hefty current political, social and blokey issues, through their outstanding character comedy. [more] See also reviews by: John Smythe |
 JEREMY ELWOOD IN ROCK PLUS ROLL at The Transmission Room reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe 25 May 2006 |
|
Comedy of fear and hatred Jeremy is one of New Zealand’s most enduring solid stand-up comedians. One of his trademarks is political satire. [more] |
 TRIPOD IN SELF SAUCING at The Transmission Room reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe 26 May 2006 |
|
Casual comedy & impeccable stylings If you’re only planning one more comedy outing this festival, make it the Australian trio Tripod. Yon, Gatesy and Scod share an abundance of talent. [more] |

ODDFELLOWS Comedy Festival JANEY GODLEY IN GOOD GODLEY (AK) at Silo Theatre reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe 31 May 2006 |
|
Mirth in murky depths She’s tough, coarse, and rude - but fair, and damn funny. Scotland’s Janey Godley is a survivor, with a twinkle in her eye and wit to match. [more] |

ODDFELLOWS Comedy Festival THE 4 NOELS IN THE MAGNIFICENT 17 at Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre, The Edge reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe 31 May 2006 |
|
Crack up showdown at high noon Ah, the antics of James, John and Jesse: 3 multi-talented actor-singer-musician-sort-of-dancers, whose self devised show, The Magnificent Seventeen, left us crying for more. [more] |

LINDAUER COMEDY DIVAS - MAY 22 at Comedy Chamber, Town Hall, THE EDGE reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe & Companion 22 May 2006 |
|
A review of two halves: hers & his A full house, mainly of females, were treated to great comedy, with stand out performances from Justine Smith and Irene Pink, some promising material from the new girls, all brilliantly hosted by the ubiquitous first lady of NZ comedy, Michele A‘Court. [more] |
 CORNERSHOP CONFESSIONS at Maidment reviewed by Nik Smythe 9 Oct 2008 |
|
Amusingly pointed The premise is daringly predictable: a migrant Indian family dealing with their children coming of age, with as many stereotypical race/gender/age gags as you might expect. An effective set design ... strong audio and visual effects ... and above all a versatile and spirited performance from Tarun Mohanbhai, also writer and producer, combine to make Cornershop Confessions a worthwhile watch.

 THE SEEDS OF LOVE at BATS reviewed by John Smythe 5 Sep 2006 |
|
All senses engaged The work of Juliet Shelley and Annabel Reader is as much about where they are and what all their senses are experiencing as what they are physically doing – a process Shelley (director of MmmDance) describes as “coming to my senses … out of my head.” [more] |
 BEAUTIFUL CITY at BATS reviewed by John Smythe 8 Sep 2006 |
|
Prosaic abstractions The idea of a sound and movement work based on the dynamics of city life is a fairly basic dance and drama class exercise, so when talents who have graduated from that stage explore such territory it’s reasonable to expect something different and exceptional. [more] |
