From Auckland's beloved (their words) alternative comedy night, Cupido Stupido, comes a one night only showcase of the stuff you won't see anywhere else over the festival. Hosted by Matthew Crawley and Barnie Duncan, this is a pop-up line-up show of experimental and boundary-pushing nonsense that will leave you heaving and perplexed in a most refreshing way. Expect some surprise internationals, some big and... other sized stars trying weird one-off ideas all over you.

 You obviously have good taste. Check out the full line up in the NZ International Comedy Festival with Best Foods Mayo 3-26 May 2024.
