As seen on the Cadbury Crunchie Comedy Gala, and TV2 Christmas Gala - New Zealand's favourite Welsh / Samoan is back with "Is This It?". James Nokise returns to BATS for the first time in 6 years with the sequel to his critically acclaimed Jimi Samoa. A comedy event not to be missed.

From the co-creator, writer and star of TV2's upcoming 'A Night At The Classic', comes a show about falling over; both literally (ouch) and metaphorically (stink-buzz). This one-man happening will take you through his freak-outs and paranoia’s and show why Jamie is regarded as one of the most creative, entertaining and exciting comics in NZ!

The race to space! The Cold War! Two remarkable individuals vying to be the first to leave Earth’s orbit; John ‘Magnet-Ass’ Glenn and Yuri ‘Chocolate Jesus’ Gagarin! A lasting tribute to a great friendship! Hi-jinks and highkicks! 100 characters! Two perfomers! Nine laughs!

Join Ireland's darling Maeve Higgins (kitten Brides) and Australia's resident Nick Coyle, as they return to our shores with their enchanting show, A Rare Sight. Who knows what will happen when this Celtic fun-bomb and this Aussie dreamboat collide. Laughs? Sure – but enough laughs to give any future children a place to form for nine months? Maybe... with your help!

The "Zombie of Comedy Magic" has returned. 2010 Billy T Award Nominee, Jarred Fell has decided to up the ante by not only mixing comedy, magic, suggestion and special FX together, but now the element of danger!!!

Hilarity. Hot drinks. Handy hints. Still hot from the oven, The Comediettes have returned from the New Zealand and Adelaide Fringe Festivals; to take a look at the things you can do to make your lives better. How about wrapping your child's head in Glad Wrap to keep it fresh? Or, for a striking handbag, try a frozen chicken! 'Better Living!' contains fresh twisted stand up, epic ballads, plus handy hints and hot coffee.

The Improv Divas are back with NZ's only all-lady improv act, ready to rock the capital. Stories, scenes and songs are made up on the spot with sweetness and sass. From hookers with hearts of gold to grannies who take on supervillains, these women bring it all!

Dave Wiggins is back with his trademark clean energetic comedy. This time he is searching for God… on the internet. In this all new show Wiggins scans the information superhighway for the Supernatural.
