EXTRA HAMILTON LATE SHOW JUST ADDED - 9 30PM May 16

"Australia’s funniest comedy character..." *****, Sunday Mail 2008

Sometimes life seems a bit tough, and you just feel like finding a quiet corner and having a cry. Well its times like these that Chopper thinks you should take off your skirt, grow a moustache and harden the f*ck up.

As seen on C4’s sketch comedy show The Ronnie Johns Half Hour, Heath Franklin brings his award-nominated comedy alter ego ‘Chopper’ to New Zealand for the first time. After selling over 100,000 tickets in Australia and the UK, ‘Chopper’ takes no prisoners as he headbutts his way from Wellington to Auckland via Hamilton for the NZ Comedy Festival.

The world’s gone soft since the ANZACS first stood on the beaches of Gallipoli. Sure Jake the Mus could wallop Hugh Jackman in a fight, but New Zealand needs a new kind of motivational speaker. It’s time for The Land of the Long White Cloud is about to meet the Man of the Long Brown Mo.

Through a series of multi-media presentations, motivations, puppetry and extreme but justifiable violence, Chopper hopes to change the way people look at themselves. From the Smurfs to hands-free mobiles, mangoes, Switzerland, to anti-smoking ads, even Darth Vader gets a punch in the soft guts by the International Ambassador of Hard.

So, New Zealand, it’s time to take a good hard look at yourself. You’ve become a nation of bloody sooks. Join life coach Chopper for a night of comedy, audience participation, and finding your ‘inner mongrel’.

Harden up? Grow up? It's just about being able to laugh at ourselves rather than be so precious. NZ needs more humour, more joie de vivre! Want to feel good? Take a look at yourself and have a laugh!

NZ needs to Harden the FU*K up towards the Parents of the large population of Kiwi kids that are disrepectful, uneducated, unloved, & lacking boundaries. Too many kids are left to their own devices.....ending up before the Youth Courts or in the Care of Child, Youth & Family or a Gang. Parents need to be taken to task for their childrens antisocial & disruptive behaviour.
Why aren't we providing parenting courses and education to all those new Parents? for the Parent is the creator (of the monster).
If we don't harden the F*ck Up NOW, the future of NZ is doomed. These monsters are our future generation after all!!!!!!!! Just ask Chopper....he will tell you :-)

Kiwis need to harden the F#ck up about all this Treaty of Waitangi guff and once and for all get it sorted and call the bloody thing quits. Who cares whose great grand daddy gave who what or stole what from who bloody knows who. its been forever MOVE ON, its time we all hardened the f#ck up and started acting together as kiwis instead of as separated bunch of moaning wankers.

NZ needs to toughen up on the PC stance it has taken over the years. How many of us oldies got hurt on playgrounds that didn't have matting underneath it, or how many of us got sick from eating food that was a little bit dirty or from butcher's shops with sawdust on the floor? We need to toughen up our immunity to dirt, not become so unhealthily clean that we get sucked into all the superbugs going the rounds.

You know what kiwis need to do to harden the f*ck up? Remove the words "unacceptable" and "inappropriate" from the English language, never vote for any party left of centre, and shoot anyone who uses the words "global warming" in a sentence which doesn't also contain the words "can suck my man berries".
Harden the f*ck up New Zealand.
