Forecast Shows 100% Chance Of Campy, Comedy, Cabaret!

Two Billy T nominated genderfluid powerhouses come together in holy(ish) matrimony to showcase their talents in their award winning cabaret. The show is a raucous hour of music, clown, magic, stand-up, poetry, dance, theatre, mime, and… emus? Our duo flip gender norms through marital satire, imitating a campy heteronormative couple with reversed gender roles; they skillfully weave this dynamic through the show creating an outlandishly silly and lovable couple. Unapologetically queer, and unabashedly themselves, Delightfool is a joyous and heartwarming celebration of friendship and self-acceptance.

Our stars gravitated towards each other while performing in the Pōneke comedy circuit. They came together like a supernova with their debut season of Delightfool in the Wellington Fringe Festival 2024 winning the Auckland tour ready award. After their Auckland Fringe 2024 season they frolicked away with the Outstanding theatre, Outstanding Performance (Collective), and Dunedin Fringe tour ready awards. The duo are now performing in the NZICF as 2025 Billy T Nominees. With many aforementioned skills under their belts they showcase them in a cabaret styled comedy show, giving both moments to shine on their own but ultimately come together to create a chemistry unlike any other.

“An hour of wit, sparkle, and innuendo that would be hard to beat anywhere”
Margaret Austin, Theatreview, NZ

“It’s queer joy that asks us to be shameless - It's laughter as rebellion. It’s joy as an act of resistance.”
Sazzok (Sarah) Kreig, Bad Apple Reviews, NZ
