The Backingblack comedy scrum

Everyone loves to laugh and Thursday 6th October sees a line up of Kiwi comedians from all walks of life entertaining fans at HQ with a FREE rugby-themed evening of standup comedy.
Warning: some content may offend and it is recommended that young children do not attend.

It's time to celebrate, in good humour, that all the world has come to town. We have an international selection of local comedians who are standing up for black.

The line-up includes;

MC Terry Frisby - originally from Invercargill, with 15 years experience on local and overseas comedy stages including 10 years on the UK Pro circuit.
