Opeti Vaka
2026 Billy T Award nominee
If you ask him how why he started performing comedy, he'll tell you "Well I actually started running out of options.."
Born in Wellington, with a dollop of South Auckland style, add in a sprinkle of life in the fast lane with his very large whanau and their antics, take a pinch of "what the f**k?", and wrap it all up in a person of multiple colours, those colours being 2 shades of brown (Tongan & Maori), well you get a very comedic perspective of his world.
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.
