The Wellington Comedy Club Christmas Special heads to the Fringe Bar, with guest MC Ben Hurley

Ben Hurley - As seen on The Project, Seven Sharp, and more
With a massive but hugely likeable stage presence, Hurley can win over even the toughest room. A sharp improvisational mind and well honed original material make Hurley a popular act with audiences and critics alike.

Featuring:

Lesa Macleod-Whiting - As seen on TV3's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, 7Days
A 2025 Billy T Award nominee, Lesa is a Wellington-based writer, improviser and comedian. She has been a regular on the Wellington improv scene since 2016 and began doing stand-up in July 2020, going on to nab the Runner Up spot at the Wellington Raw Comedy Quest. She has a penchant for characters, accents and fast-paced silliness.

Li'i Alaimoana
Multi Award-winning and Billy T Award nominee, Li'i makes a return to the stage after a 2 year break. Back with great stories of family life, songs and good natured comedy, Li'i is a firm Kiwi favourite.

This event made possible with support from Pub Charities Ltd, and Wellington City Council
