After sold out performances at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival 2021 and a two week season at Basement Theatre, Aman Bajaj and Bala Murali Shingade return with their acclaimed bromantic comedy, Boom Shankar.
Shankar Shinde is a fresh graduate of BDSM (Bomb Defusal School of Manukau). His expertise and nerves are tested when he is confronted with his first real-world challenge - will he rise to the occasion?
Join Shankar on a journey that explores love, life, and the importance of selecting the right type of yoghurt. He is forced to tap into all his training, unconventional coping mechanisms, divine intervention and sheer dumb luck, as he manoeuvres through his most unexpected and strangest adventure to date.

Audience warnings:
The performance contains an element of audience interaction.
Acclaimed as a work of genius. The contradictions of modern India, with its iPhones and ancient gods, come alive in this much-loved play from one of New Zealand’s finest performers.
Badjelly the Witch, the much-loved, utterly loony Spike Milligan classic, is this year’s Glow Show! The Glow Show’s utterly original mash-up of science, puppetry and music is set to bring a little fright and lots of fun to 30 venues across Aotearoa.
