A Complete Idiot's Guide to New Zealand is a stand-up comedy show by Sully O'Sullivan, a comedian presenting an insider's guide to his eccentric homeland. The show answers questions about New Zealand that audiences never knew to ask — from the story of a proposed national flag featuring a bird with lasers for eyes to the origins of the kiwifruit, and the recurring problem of New Zealand being left off maps. The hour is described as quintessentially Kiwi comedy.
Why see this show?
Sully O'Sullivan has found a rich comic seam in New Zealand's particular brand of cultural eccentricity — the flag referendum story alone is worth the ticket. An hour of affectionate, well-crafted stand-up about a country that keeps getting overlooked.
