Jerome Chandrahasen: Jerome’s Variety Hour

Presented by Jerome Chandrahasen
Jerome’s Variety Hour
THE SPICE OF LAUGHTER
Recession. Global Warming. Terror. With so many abstract nouns to worry about, Jerome Chandrahasen presents his search for the things that cheer us up.

In the tradition of the variety shows of the 1930s, Jerome’s Variety Hour looks for the laughter in a mix of comedy, characters and verse. Finding the joy in family, nature and friendship, Jerome shares his favourite stories and anecdotes in a good natured hour performance.

Jerome Chandrahasen has performed in every NZ International Comedy Festival since 2004. His unique brand of comedy saw him win Best New Comer in the NZICF Awards 2005 and gain a nomination for the prestigious Billy T Award in 2006.

With the peculiar background of a mathematics degree, brief stint as librarian, swing dance instructor and tour guide of New Zealand birds, a variety of ideas is guaranteed. His at times unconventional performances have both delighted and bewildered audiences and critics alike.
