Different Party - Award Tour

Dennis and Grareth whittle away the minutes in the barren office of Rucks’s Leather Interiors, patiently waiting for the phone call that may or may not give them something to actually do.

60 minutes, no interval
26 - 27 Jun 2024

Fresh from winning the Fred Award for Best Show at this year’s comedy festival, Trygve and Barnie are very happy to bring their very funny show back for two very funny nights. 

Dennis and Grareth whittle away the minutes in the barren office of Rucks’s Leather Interiors, patiently waiting for the phone call that may or may not give them something to actually do.

Amongst the drudgery of the 9-5, the minutiae of office existence are transformed into gleeful slapstick as these two clown and comedy performers come together to create something greater than the sum of its parts.

Dialogue is minimal, but jokes are plentiful in this extraordinary celebration of the banal.

"The performance is perfect" - Chortle, UK 
"howlingly funny, exquisitely performed hour of office-set slapstick from two of New Zealand's most exciting comic talents"- The Telegraph, UK

Winner - Fred Award 2024, NZ International Comedy Festival - Different Party
Winner - Best Comedy 2018, Adelaide Fringe Festival - Different Party

Presented by:
