STAMPTOWN

Part of NZ International Comedy Festival 2026

The New Zealand Comedy Trust presents –STAMPTOWN.

This is not a “sit nicely and chuckle” comedy show. Stamptown is a raunchy, chaotic, full-throttle variety fever dream – equal parts stand-up, cabaret, circus, drag, performance art, and “how is this even happening right now?".

Hosted by international chaos merchant Zach Zucker,Stamptown has become a New York Times Top Comedy Pick and has packed out rooms at Netflix Is A Joke, Just For Laughs, Edinburgh Fringe, Glastonbury, SXSW, Lincoln Center, Soho Theatre, MICF, and Off-Broadway – basically, anywhere people like their comedy sweaty, surprising, and slightly unhinged.

Every lineup is stacked with wildly entertaining acts from around the world, and the energy is the point: you’re not just watching a show, you’re getting swept up in it. Think big laughs, big swings, and the kind of “we have to bring friends next time” night you’ll be talking about all week.

★★★★★ “The best late-night show on the festival circuit” – Chortle

★★★★★ "An absolutely insane night of comedy that is impossible to replicate, which is what makes it such an appealing show to come back to” – Broadway World

★★★★ “Winningly helter-skelter late-night entertainment” – Guardian

★★★★ “An atmosphere of barely controlled chaos... this is the late night cabaret to see” – Telegraph

★ “Run for your life if anyone suggests going to see this irredeemably unfunny show.” – Dick Bath, Scottish Field
