Palmy Comedy Fest '26

The Koro Chronicle is Heta Dawson’s debut solo hour — a lifetime of experiences told by a man who happens to be a koro now.

Through sharp observation and warm, unforced humour, Heta shares stories about his life, his wife and kids, being Māori, racism, and growing older — all seen from where he stands today.

This isn’t a show about having all the answers — it’s about asking the questions out loud for the first time.

Honest, bittersweet, and grounded in lived experience, The Koro Chronicle is about growing older, softening up, and learning what it really means to carry the title of koro.
