He's performed for over a decade and won awards around the country but last year someone asked Eli if he was gay in real life or if he just does it for the jokes. A brand new hour of comedy about if lying can be good, actually. As seen on Celebrity Treasure Island, Dancing With The Stars, 7 Days and heard on The Male Gayz Podcast.

Hot off the back of a sold-out UK tour, stellar comedians Rachel Fairburn and Kiri Pritchard-McLean are bringing their smash-hit true crime podcast, All Killa No Filla, to New Zealand!
It’s the late 80s, crime is rampant, and only Detective Reynolds and Sergent Thompson can navigate neon-lit alleys to save the city in a RACE AGAINST TIME. “HOT PURSUIT” is a delightful buddy-cop-improv-comedy-two-hander-theatre-show.
