Tuesday to Friday, shows at 7.30pm. Saturday shows at 6.00pm and 8.00pm.

Following sellout performances in the USA, Canada and the UK in 2007, revered comedian Charles Ross makes his NZ debut this festival season in Auckland and Wellington with the smash hit show that delivers three epic films at hyperspeed - ONE MAN STAR WARS™ TRILOGY.

Ross, a Star Wars addict, who had seen the trilogy over 400 times by age ten brings to life all of the characters from the iconic trilogy including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, C3PO, Chewbacca and Darth Vader. Acclaimed for his physicality and the sheer energy of his performance he sings the music, fights the battles, creates the special effects and condenses the plots of all three original films into just one amazing hour without the aid of props or costumes.

“A must see comedy for Star Wars fans young and old” - Amy Hall, BBC

This tremendously talented actor was honoured by Lucasfilm when he was invited to perform at Celebration 3, the official release convention for “Star Wars: Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith”. He’s also been inducted as a Friend of the Canadian division of the 501st Legion, the world’s definitive Imperial Costuming Organisation. Audiences in Auckland and Wellington should not be alarmed if the NZ garrison sees Storm troopers take over the city in honour of this amazing performance.

“A theatrical tour de force” - Telegraph, UK
‘A dazzling physical theatre piece and a laugh-a-minute parody.’ Adelaide Advertiser

Whether you’re a committed Star Wars fan or simply want to enjoy a fast-paced, hilarious evening that’s out of this world - One Man Star Wars is the answer!

Duration: 1 hour.

I'd use my Jedi mind-trick to convince Ross to come and perform this in Christchurch.

I'd use my mind trick powers to win biggest lotto draw of all time, say $200 million. Then I'd take my husband and go to live in the italian countryside.

I would jedi mind trick the IRD to knock off most of ALL student loans/mortigages/rate and GST as well, i would also jedi mind trick the governemnt into taking cigarettes off the shelves and make it elligal, and jedi mind trick the entire universe to quit smoking (incluiding myself). I would also jedi mind trick THE HIVE to give me tickets and make me win EVERY compitition here and i would then give them out myself to people i know (my own lucky winner). I would Jedi Mind Trick The WHOLE OF NZ to jump at the same time and see if our country moves, then i would jedi mind trick the whole of earth to jump at the same time and see if earth moves, as well as see the consequences of where our earth moves in relation to the sun. Ofcourse i would jedi mind trick ther little things and people so i get a few 'nice' things myself, like a car and a trip around the world (to see whats happened to those i mid tricked.. ) I have heaps more but this is getting too long, so i would stick to this and se

I would use my mind trick to persuade the oil companies to give all new mothers and fathers free petrol so they can drive their babies to sleep when the crying hasn't stopped for hours and hours and hours and hours - you get the picture. Now, hand over the petrol pump.

I would use my mind tricks on all politicians that as soon as they got into parliment they would only pass policies that really were beneficial for all the country and they would not be able to bicker among themselves. Oh yes, beng to my mind tricks, bend, bend.....

Free stuff immediately springs to mind, but I could do something for the greater social good - like going to prison and convince them all to never offend again - like Obi-Wan does in StarWars 2. But at the very least, I'd be right all day!!!

I'd use my new skills to convince everyone that we will never win a rugby world cup, therefore single handedly decreasing the crime rate in NZ by 75%. Can you use the Jedi mind trick on yourself to make yourself come up with more exciting ideas?

I'd use my jedi mind tricks to convince all women it's a great idea to leave the toilet seat up...or at least, just my partner.

Eventfinder is incorrectly listing a group discount rate of $39.00 for 8 or more people, but that is not correct (at least Ticketek wouldn't give me the discount for my group of 10).
