Grifted and Talented - Auckland Improv Festivals

It’s the show that puts the CON into talent CONtest!

Join an eclectic mix of comedians, cabaret artists, and improvisers as they take part in a good ol’fashioned talent show. Expect music, magic, party tricks, circus skills, and more!

The only catch? None of the contestants know what their talent will be until they hit the stage. In order to win, they’ll need to convince everybody else that this skill is something they can definitely do.

Don’t miss this new twist on an old-school variety show, for fans of Taskmaster, Would I Lie To You, and Game Changer.
Featuring China Gonzalez, James Hilary Penwarden and Rebecca Mary Gwendolon
