SUMMARY:Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen
DESCRIPTION:I’m 36\, I’m a comedian\, and I’m about to kill my boyfriend… \nFrom the Olivier Award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer comes this blisteringly funny and unnervingly honest dark comedy by Marcelo Dos Santos (Backstairs Billy). \nA perpetually single\, professionally neurotic stand-up finally meets his Mr. Right—and then does absolutely everything wrong. But is Mr. Right all he seems? And how far will this comedian go for the sake of a killer punchline? \nWith razor-sharp wit and aching vulnerability\, Feeling Afraid as if Something Terrible is Going to Happen dives headfirst into modern love\, ego\, and the fine art of self-sabotage. Hilarity and heartbreak collide in a whip-smart\, one-man confessional about intimacy\, insecurity\, and the danger of getting exactly what you think you want. \n“The gag-count is ridiculously high… Catch it\, before everyone else does.” – The Telegraph \n“…funny while being uncomfortably real\, sometimes devastating\, and consistently entertaining.” – Salterton Arts Review \n  \nThere are multiple performances of this show – \nSaturday 14 March 2026 6:30pm\nTuesday 17 March 2026 7:30pm\nWednesday 18 March 2026 6:30pm\nThursday 19 March 2026 7:30pm\nFriday 20 March 2026 6:30pm\nSaturday 21 March 2026 6:30pm\nTuesday 24 March 2026 7:30pm\nWednesday 25 March 2026 6:30pm\nThursday 26 March 2026 7:30pm\nFriday 27 March 2026 6:30pm\nSaturday 28 March 2026 3:00pm\nSaturday 28 March 2026 6:30pm\nTuesday 31 March 2026 7:30pm\nWednesday 1 April 2026 6:30pm\nThursday 2 April 2026 7:30pm

SUMMARY:Call Me Hot Not Pretty
DESCRIPTION:Saddle up \nCall Me Hot\, Not Pretty is where Midwest Princess meets Ōtautahi on a Saturday night. Inspired by the dramatic theatrics of Chappell Roan we’re talking double denim\, high camp\, power stances\, line-dancing breaks\, and at least one person taking hobby horsing far too seriously (as they should). \nYour Girl Richard will be on the decks spinning our favourite pop princess anthems\, with more entertainment still to be announced. \nThis is a night for big outfits\, bigger personalities\, and the kind of confidence that makes eye contact across the room — and holds it. \nWhether you’re a Midwest Princess or just someone who believes in the holy trinity of camp\, pop\, and main-character energy\, this dancefloor is for you\, everyone is welcome here. \nHot is theatrical.\nHot is intentional.\nWe will be HOT TO GO. \nCome ready to commit to the bit
