Christmas in October
Presented by the New Zealand Improv Festival
It's nowhere near beginning to look anything like Christmas, but if October in Wellington is true to form, the weather outside is probably frightful, so we're celebrating anyway. Wear your best ugly sweater for this celebration of the Christmas season, featuring gifts (real), eggnog (imaginary) and warm feelings (both).
Featuring a found family of amazing performers from across the Festival, together on stage for the very first time.
“If you want to laugh till your belly hurts, watch wizards weave worlds out of thin air, and be a part of something special, inimitable, then catch as many NZIF shows as you can.”
About NZIF
Born in 2008, now in its 16th year (don’t think too hard about the maths), NZIF is a whirlwind celebration and showcase of improvisation from around Aotearoa and the world.
A handful of the shows are cast and directed by the Festival, specifically by its two Artistic Co-Directors, Jim Fishwick and Matt Powell.
