Palmy Comedy Fest '26
After a summer spent holed up working on new jokes, and making horrendous noises with his headless guitar, 2026 Billy T nominee Joel Vinsen is coming to Palmerston North for ONE NIGHT ONLY to show you the results. Expect silliness, filthiness, weirdness, and a sh*tload of big laughs. This is not your standard stand-up, and this is definitely NSFW. Consider yourself warned.
