International Comedy Showcase

Blowout Comedy brings you an awesome show featuring four high-quality acts.

Gary Sansome, a UK comedy veteran who's performed all over the world including sets at NYC’s famous Caroline’s Comedy Club and multiple highly acclaimed shows at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Gary can adapt to any crowd out there, from tough, brash New Yorkers to polite, small town folk in Hokitika. Wherever he goes he makes an impression as an incredibly likeable, charming and hilarious MC and comedian. His sold-out Edinburgh debut show "Bald Man Sings Rihanna" received both audience and critical praise including a five star review from Bunbury Magazine. He annually hosts "Scotfest" in Tulsa, Oklahoma one of the biggest festivals celebrating Scottish Culture in North America – the festival attracts over 30,000 people across the weekend.

Vasu Premkumar is a rising star in the Christchurch comedy scene and has recently started toured around NZ making an impact around the country for his sharply observed material. See him before he gets famous!

Jonathan Falconer, a pro comic from the USA who’s performed all over his home country and NZ, has become an audience fave. He delivers clever, yet accessible and hilarious material, with an undeniable charisma. He's that rare combination of PHD level smarts and fun party vibes!

Dan Brader (an NZ cult comedy fave) has been doing comedy since 07. He has six years on the Aussie circuit under his belt and he’s been in festivals in both NZ and Australia as well as performing several solo tours of NZ. Brader is an outrageous comic who keeps the audiences on his toes with his brutally witty takes on a variety of topics as well as turning the gun on himself too. Nobody is spared! Cheeky but charming, with a heart behind the mischief making, he's become a favourite of discerning comedy fans in NZ and Australia who enjoy something a little different to the standard fare. "Brader's unique comedic style sets him apart."--The Southland Times. "He walks his own line and drags the laughs out of it with a sharp shake."--ArtsHUB
