CORBETT AND EGO: The Laziest Men in NZ Comedy

CORBETT & EGO in LA-Z-MEN

The first standup up comedy show written from and performed entirely from LAZYBOY armchairs.

Jeremy Corbett and Paul Ego have given up the pretence. They are just too lazy to stand on stage for an hour performing. The laziest hardworking TV and Radio stars bring you an entirely new concept in stand-up...sit-down comedy.

The stars of TV3's 7 Days are well known for their on camera banter and cordially invite you to view their off camera banter. The two middle aged crisis comics have a lot to chat about; Corbett has become a first time father this year, which is causing father-of-two, Ego, much mirth.

Jeremy Corbett has been a regular in the media world since before the internet. The high profile host of Deal or No Deal followed by the late night, award winning 7 Days. He is also the long running breakfast host on MORE FM and throughout this time, one of the country's best loved stand-up comics, appearing not just locally but in the “by invitation only” Montreal Just for Laughs Festival.

Paul Ego sits to Corbett’s right on TV3's 7 Days and won 'Best TV Performance' at the NZ Comedy Guild Awards for his role on the show. Also nominated for ‘The Funniest Person on TV’ in the TV Guide’s ‘Best On The Box’ Awards (narrowly missing out to Jason Gunn), Ego has been spending his weekday mornings as part of the Award Winning Morning Rumble Breakfast Show on The Rock.

Like Corbett, Ego is well respected as a stand-up comic having won the Billy T Award and been nominated for the Fred Comedy Award.

Corbett and Ego's 2010 NZ International Comedy Festival show, Radio, won Best Show Concept at the 2010 NZ Comedy Guild Awards.

So put your feet up (they certainly have) and book early for the laziest men in New Zealand comedy - tickets are sure to go quickly.

"These guys are extremely smart and very funny"  Theatre Review

"Ego and Corbett (or Corbett and Ego depending on how they feel) are a great pair; Paul's 'deadpan' works as an excellent foil to Jeremy's mischievous nature - they're a good, clever team who feel like an old married couple; they know each other's foibles, strengths and weaknesses as well as how to make each other laugh" tvnz.co.nz
