Kiwi comedian, Eli Matthewson, returns to the festival fresh from winning the New Zealand International Comedy Festival's Best Show.
He had vowed to not make any gay jokes but he just can't help it, but he's a skilled, witty, intelligent comic who can take jokes about being gay and make them genuinely original and fresh. Far from hack, Matthewson handles the storytelling and joke interweaving deftly. A very engaging and charming hour looking at the challenges of a long-distance relationship, family tensions and experiencing lockdown in New Zealand, a strong performance and well worth checking out. I hope the borders don't close again next year!
