CANCELLED - Fergus Aitken: Honesty Hour
Event description
The funniest stories are so often the truth.
Wellington comedy favourite Fergus Aitken is returning to Good Times Comedy Club, with an adults-only stand-up show that will leave you in stitches.
A rollicking hour of true stories and honest observations of his often eccentric world, peppered with plenty of everyday mistruths we mainly seem to accept as fact.
Recently Fergus has been refreshing a selection of adventures, fun facts and myths. Some of life's little mysteries will be expanded and exploded! With a stand-up comedy style based strongly in physical theatre and storytelling, he spins a yarn – and some of it’s even true. “I love observational comedy”, says Aitken, “Some of the funniest things I’ve ever heard are true”.
Growing up in the tiny bogan town of NZ; Traveling as a Kiwi; Having a name people seem to struggle with; Addiction; Experiencing the joys of Covid; Second marriage and becoming a father again at 56…
In a varied comedy career spanning four decades and 15 countries, Fergus has experienced many bizarre encounters with the truth… including several standing ovations at nudist festivals. Fergus has achieved critical acclaim with his stand-up and character performances, playing regularly at comedy clubs and events in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and beyond.
Fergus has been a living mannequin at Madam Tussaud’s, mimed in Moscow, juggled with the NZSO, hosted rock concerts, played pre-show to 3,500 people a night at WoW (The World of Wearable Arts Awards Show), and at Sweetwaters ’99, he was (inadvertently) a warm-up mime for the Wiggles.
Come out and tickle your funny bone with an evening of hilarity, featuring Fergus Aitken!
