Coming to the Wunderbar are the incorrigible SIR Tim Shadbolt and Gary McCormick, and they're kicking off with their inaugural gathering of the 'Pull Yourself Together Party'.
This will be a wild night of hilarity and quick wit by two of New Zealand's funniest "gentlemen" and "A New Knight For A New Day" is their brand new show.
Mayor Tim Shadbolt of Invercargill is now “Sir Timothy Shadbolt,” with all of the extra responsibilities.
"Not bad for a Westie with a few protesting convictions under his belt,” - says the new Knight.
“And pretty hard on me!” - says Gary McCormick, who sees himself as the real worker in the comedy team.
Following a sellout tour of twenty-three golf courses – the “heartland of New Zealand,” (as McCormick puts it), in an attempt to understand why Jacinda Adern and Labour won the last election and not their own Pull Yourself Together Party, Gary McCormick and Mayor Tim Shadbolt have had to concede that the better woman won on the day.
“To be honest with you, I saw it coming,” says Gary McCormick, who resumes his role as a MORE FM breakfast host, “ I said to Mayor – now “Sir” Tim: this woman will stop at nothing and will probably have a baby to cement her political capital. As it turned out, I was right!”
Mayor Tim was one of the first to congratulate the new Prime Minister.
“I admire her ruthlessness. As the longest serving Mayor in New Zealand history, I have towed many concrete mixers in my time just to make sure that I remain a Mayor. I hereby announce my determination to stand again for the Mayoralty on Invercargill. With global warming, Invercargill will soon be a tropical paradise!”
The pair will resume their occasional public gatherings as they rebuild the broken vessel that is the 'Pull Yourself Together Party'.
“We welcome feedback, ”says Sir Tim, “which like most political parties, we feel free to ignore! But come along and have your say.”
Gary McCormick has the final word.
“You’d have to say of our current Prime Minister, that time was on her side.
Tim and I have a bit of time on our side – some of which was spent in places you weren’t allowed to leave!
But the 'Pull Yourself Together Party' now has a great incentive to be more interesting than Simon Bridges.”
Next Pull Yourself Together Party gathering: The Wunderbar.
