Lord of the Zings: A Kiwi Comedy Showcase brings together three New Zealand comics — Danny Sewell, Hoani Hotene and Fin McLachlan — at the Hollywood venue during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The trio openly admit they have no hobbit jokes and no opinions on Peter Jackson's work; the title is simply a marketing ploy. Instead, they offer an hour of stand-up comedy exploring life, adventure and the long journey from New Zealand to Edinburgh. The show runs 60 minutes, is suitable for those aged 18 and over, and tickets are just £2.50.
Why see this show?
Three Kiwi comics making the enormous journey to Edinburgh with a refreshingly honest show — no gimmicks beyond a borrowed title and genuine stand-up. At £2.50, this is one of the best-value comedy hours on the Fringe.
