The Lonesome Buckwhips - Buckapapa

Come explore your ‘Buckapapa’ with The Lonesome Buckwhips, the hilarious four-piece musical-comedy act that have taken the NZ comedy scene by storm! With numerous television appearances and a four-part Radio NZ comedy series under their belts, the 2008 Billy T Nominees are back with a brand new show, a one-off, ‘must-see’ at Downstage Theatre. Join Benny, Arty, Miri and Gary Buckwhip for a night of quick-fire banter, social satire and delightful ignorance all rolled into the catchiest tunes this side of Te Wai Pounamu. Dunedin’s finest family band is guaranteed to make you laugh!

The Lonesome Buckwhips sing funny songs beautifully. In the guise of a bickering family band, this hilarious four-piece delights audiences with pitch-perfect harmonies and onstage feuding. Their brand new show is sure to boil your water and perhaps even condense your milk. It's side-splitting Kiwi comedy with a sting in its tail.

Fresh from a successful Auckland season at the NZ International Comedy Festival, this is a rare opportunity for Wellington audiences. Armed with a bunch of epic new tunes, The Lonesome Buckwhips are ready to smear their gloriously unique brand of comedy all over the Downstage Theatre for one night only!

New songs include: "Pink Eyes Crying in The Night," "You're Never Too Old (Mutton Woman)," and "The Ballad of Uncle Fiddles."
