This year’s New Zealand International Comedy Festival was cancelled because of Covid-19 restrictions and that meant no gala opening. So instead we’ve got the Christmas Comedy Gala, a line-up of local acts and featuring just one overseas performer, Australian Laura Davis. Filmed at a packed Civic Theatre in Auckland and screening across two episodes, the performers include Melanie Bracewell, Justine Smith, The Topp Twins, Guy Williams and Ben Hurley. But there will also be some lesser-known names showcasing their talent.
