Late Night Knife Fight
Presented by Locomotive
We’ll bring the knives; you bring the judgement. Late Night Knife Fight is the monthly improv battle where three teams face off in a fight for glory, honour, and the audience’s favour. The winner returns in the headline spot next month; the losers wail and gnash their teeth.
Teams and headliner to be announced — check out the title history at www.knifefight.nz
“BEING HANDED A KNIFE AS I ENTER, ALBEIT A PLASTIC ONE, I COULD NOT HELP BUT GET THE FEELING THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A MORE HARDCORE NIGHT OF IMPROV THAN I HAD EXPERIENCED IN A WHILE...”
