Saturday Laughs with David Correos and Neil Thornton

Sat, Sep. 23, 2023🕐8:00 PM — 10:00 PM

Abandoned Taproom, 20 Parumoana Street, Porirua

Saturday Laughs is a two-hour comedy showcase of some top Kiwi talent, right in the heart of Porirua.

September's show features headline act David Correos, as seen on TaskMaster NZ
David grew up in Christchurch and after deciding that stand-up comedy and performing arts was the career he wanted to pursue, David moved to Auckland in 2014 and has been making big strides since the move including being given the "Comic Originality" award at the 2015 Comedy Guild Awards. His style of comedy can be described as a big ball of manic energy that even his body can't keep up with.

"David Correos seems only to have to stand there to get laughs" - Theatreview (Aotearoha: Rising Stars)
"His energetic performance leaves him panting for air and the audience begging for more." - Metromag
"A one-man circus who will do practically anything to entertain an audience for the genuine love of it." - Theatre Scenes

With Neil Thornton
Neil Thornton has made a big impact on the New Zealand comedy circuit since arriving here from New York City. In the United States, Neil was a regular in New York comedy clubs, and performed in Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Provincetown, and Fire Island.
Since arriving in New Zealand, he has toured up and down the country, entertaining audiences with his battles of understanding Kiwi culture and finding his own identity. He's a favorite at Auckland and Wellington comedy clubs, and recently appeared in the TV3 comedy special "After Hours." His fringe festival show, Ursus Americanus, was nominated for the Best Stand-Up Comedy award, and his NZ International Comedy Festival show, Bearly Kiwi, was nominated for Best Newcomer.
