AIF - Grifted and Talented

  • Covert Theatre 51 Mackelvie Street Auckland, Auckland, 1021 New Zealand (map)

It’s the show that puts the CON into talent CONtest!

Join an eclectic mix of comedians, cabaret artists, and improvisers as they take part in a good ol’fashioned talent show. Expect music, magic, party tricks, circus skills, and more!

The only catch? None of the contestants know what their talent will be until they hit the stage. In order to win, they’ll need to convince everybody else that this skill is something they can definitely do.

Don’t miss this new twist on an old-school variety show, for fans of Taskmaster, Would I Lie To You, and Game Changer.

Featuring China Gonzalez, James Hilary Penwarden and Rebecca Mary Gwendolon

Hosted and created by Jim Fishwick (The Saboteur, contributing writer for NZ Taskmaster and Only Connect)

Co-hosted by Pole Comedian

Producer: Talia Meyerowitz-Katz

Publicist: Emma Maguire

Tech Design: Christopher Mederos

Game Design Consultant: Alex McMillan

Production Design Consultant: Tara Sriharan

Presented by Jetpack Theatre
