I Heart BATS

Winter may have hit Wellington, but summer returns to BATS this week with the opening of I Heart Camping. The astroturf has been rolled out, and the tree and rope swing are being rigged as we speak - it really does look like a classic Kiwi camping ground in there. Reminisce about those long, hot summer days of a couple of weeks ago and book yourself in to see this sweet little (un)romantic comedy! Opening night and Friday night are already booked out!
We also have a bunch of cool bands hitting the Pit Bar this week, so wander on down and check out some sweet NZ tunes.
And strap yourself in - the NZ International Comedy Fest is hitting BATS in May! Some performances are already close to booking out, so check out the full BATS programme and book yourself in! BATS is stoked to have a 100% all Kiwi line up, featuring a range of familiar faces and some BATS first timers!
See you at the theatre!
