“i’m sorry i said that” or are they?

Two of the shining lights of New Zealand comedy Irene Pink and Justine Smith have teamed up to bring you and hour of some sublime stand up. Think of this as the Voltron of comedy combining their powers to form something more than the sum of it’s halves. This is a full blown hour of glory that is destined to be one of the great shows of the 2011 Comedy Festival.

If ever there were two comedians destined to work together it’s Irene and Justine. Their mutual distastes of, well most stuff actually, mean they are like peas in a pod. Except two peas that harrass each other mercilessly picking each other apart untill the whole thing falls into a completely hilarios shambles.

Having worked together many times as part of the Lady Bunch and on line up shows such as Divas, they both have an accute understanding of how to push each others buttons. Each other, and the rest of the world.

Irene has been performing stand up for over a decade, she has featured Comedy Galas, AotearoHA’s, A Night At The Classic, Pulp Comedy and 7Days and Comedy Central.

“A mountain of natural wit, Pink is not shy about extracting mirth from subjects like her size, her sexuality, her culture, what drugs she's on ("anyone else on the P tonight? ..only 3 more sleeps 'til Christmas!"). Again, hilarious.” – Theatreview

Having won the Billy T Award and Best Femal Comedian, Justine has established herself as one of the key players in new Zealand Comedy. With a flick of the eye and “To be honest…” she will have the audience in stiches. Always hilarious, Justine is a writer for TV3’s Jono Project and contributes to TV3’s 7Days.

“I doubled over with laughter” – Kate Ward-Smythe
