NEIL THORNTON Fresh from a US tour that included performing at the legendary New York Stonewall Inn. Gay bear. American expat. Aging slacker. Watch him tackle the irony of homophobia, the humiliation of childhood, and the uncharted territory of man-on-man marriage. His comedy is by turns intellectual, bawdy, angry, and insightful, but most of all funny. "A bold performer with intelligent material. Constantly amusing and thought-provoking." ruminator.co.nz THANE PULLAN An extraordinary comic talent who delivers his punchlines from a wheelchair. Known as grumpy cripple on Facebook, his humour lives up to his name with a certain morbid cheek to it. Winner of The Twisted Hop Raw Comedy Competition.Finalist at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival. “I could watch his set again and again…he blew my mind” David Farrier - NewsHub COREY HUMM Random thoughts from an opinionated fool is one way Corey Humm describes himself. Corey has a disarming nature and unique delivery, and has fast made a name for himself in the local comedy scene. South Island final of the Raw Comedy Quest.
