It needs little introduction. Since 2000 THE BIG SHOW has launched so many headline comedians from around the world into the NZ Fest and 2025 is a doozy. The Honourable Tom Houghton from England returns to introduce you, for the first time, to ANDY ASKINS and LAURA LEXX from England, ROSCO McLELLAND from Scotland and the remarkable JOHN ROBERTSON from Australia. 5 headline acts packed in to one 2 hour show. The ideal pick for family, friends, workmates or the social network. Always a hot ticket!
