Comedy Fest Opens with Snark

7 May 2007

Kia ora all,

Why did the tree smell? Because its leaves blew off!

Well I thought it was hilarious anyway! Better leave it to the professionals in the NZ International Comedy Festival.

The Hunting of the Snark kicks off the Festival tomorrow with nonsensical hilarity. Also starting this week are Jeremy Elwood's Passport Control on Wednesday, and The Saturday Night Divas will begin their foxy improv antics on Thursday.

Win a double pass to the opening night of Passport Control (Wed 9 May 8pm), by telling us what Jeremy does mid-flight. Email us your answers by 4pm tomorrow!

Love BATSxxx
