Welcome to the 2024 NZ International Comedy Festival - 02 to 26 May.
We loved him in 2018 & 2019. Missed him in 2020 (thanks Covid).
But a Classic fave returns in 2024 with his acclaimed new show‚ Ian Smith : Crushing
Double Nominee for BEST COMEDY SHOW at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe. Also freshly nominated for Best Compere & Best Show in the 2024 Chortle UK Comedy Awards.
His acclaimed new show, 'CRUSHING' is about stress, love and driving a tank with your hairdresser. Three classic and timeless themes.
