Jamaine Ross - Vaguely Familiar

Join Jamaine Ross in his new hour of stand-up where he's mostly chill, but also quietly seething at New Zealand's social inequality.

$20 - $30 (service fees may apply)
60 minutes
23 - 27 May 2023

Jamaine is a super chill dude. The kind of guy who throws a private shaka whenever he hits send on an email. The guy with a face that you've definitely seen somewhere but you can't quite remember where.

Join him for his new hour of stand-up where he talks about chill stuff like eels, bees, and his daughter's obsession with Peppa Pig. There'll also be some mention of the insidious and long-reaching effects of colonisation on generations of Māori, but it's mostly chill stuff.

As seen on Mean Mums, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Frickin Dangerous Bro On The Road, Comedians Giving Lectures, NZ Today, and as a recycling fairy jumping out of a rubbish bin in Auckland Council's 'Think Before You Throw' recycling campaign.

Jamaine has roots in Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu, and probably somewhere in Scotland, he just hasn't looked into it yet, but it's on the list.

You obviously have good taste. Check out the full line up in the 2023 NZ International Comedy Festival with Best Foods Mayo from 5 – 28 May.
