Steve Coogan

Steve Coogan is at long last heading to New Zealand.

Coogan, genius creator of Alan Partridge, Paul and Pauline Calf and a myriad of other laugh-inducing, cringe-worthy yet achingly familiar comic character creations, is undertaking his first New Zealand live performances.

Boasting Perrier, BAFTA and numerous British Comedy Awards, including Top Male Comedy Performer and Top Comedy Personality, Steve Coogan has also made a name for himself in a swag of acting roles, most notably Tony Wilson in Michael Winterbottom's 24 Hour Party People and most recently as a British film director in Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder.

But it's his comedic characters that attracted over 350,000 people in the UK to see him in his 2008 tour.

Don't miss Steve Coogan - one of the most popular, charismatic and versatile comics in the world today.
