Funny Chokers rehearsals

Ete — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:15:18 +0000

One week before the premier of Funny Chokers and we’re both very happy with where we’re at in terms of putting the show together. I guess nine years of working together has taught us to trust our own and each other’s writing instincts. Nice to find a lot of new material. Writing a show’s a bit like mining for gold. Sometimes you have to sift through a lot of mud to find the valuable stuff and we’re happy to say that we’ve struck a rich vein of comedy gold. We’re both quietly confident that this will be as good if not better than anything we’ve done before, and while nerves will always keep us on our toes, we’re looking forward delivering the goods on stage. It should be a goody. Nek minnit! Lol!

Whakatane sell-out

Ete — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 00:21:22 +0000

Awesome to play in Whakatane for the first time in front of a sell-out audience, especially after two sell-out shows in nearby Opotiki in August and then another sell-out show for the community in Kawerau in September. Thanks to everyone who turned out and apologies to all those who missed out on tickets. Now we know why it’s called the Bay Of Plenty. Plenty of audience there for us. We’ll definitely be coming back in the Bay with Funny Chokers in 2012. Look forward to it.
