Kids' Comedy Season

In 2008, the NZ International Comedy Festival launched a revolutionary programme that made comedy accessible to everyone. The objective was to start a youth uprising that parents needn’t worry about – something good, clean and fun. Thus, the Kids’ Comedy Season was born and has proven to be a hit with the young and the young at heart.

For the past two years, the season has assembled some of the best talents locally and internationally to present a showcase that is both kid-friendly and at the same time a lot of fun – and this year is no exception!

Some of the heavyweights of the comedy circuit show that they’re more than capable of adapting their material to a younger audience and more than receptive to a “cleaner” style, as Stand Up For Kids brings together the festival’s best from New Zealand and abroad to entertain the wee ones. A highlight of the 2009 Festival season, the showcase is family-friendly and enough to have old and young giggling.

Theatreview praised the event and assuring older audience members “[…] they don’t pick on the mums and dads… much.”

A part time comic and a part time teacher – surely Mike Boon (NZ) will know how to keep young audiences captivated! Mr. Boons Big Time Last Chance Kids Show teams Boon up with his comedy mates to bring kids the ultimate in weekend afternoon fun. Packed with material as silly as his eyebrows (!), Mike Boon and company bring stand-up, stories and sketches to kids aged 5 and upward.
