Tarun Mohanbhai (Friday Only)
You might recognize him from your local dairy, a recent Uber ride, or even a hospital visit. If so, it might be time to check your racist-o-meter—preferably by someone who doesn’t just happen to look like him. (A second opinion is highly recommended.) Cori Gonzalez Macuer (Friday Only)
You might recognize Cori Gonzalez-Macuer from Mean Mums, Wellington Paranormal, 7Days, Have You Been Paying Attention, or the cult Kiwi classic What We Do in the Shadows. Since starting out in 2003, he’s been one of New Zealand’s most distinctive comedy talents. A Billy T Award winner, Cori has performed across the U.S., U.K., Australia, Singapore, South America, and even the Middle East, while also completing multiple nationwide tours in NZ. Beyond stand-up, he has made his mark as both an actor and writer on some of the country’s most iconic TV shows and films. His writing credits include Jono and Ben, 7Days, The Project, and Have You Been Paying Attention?—and he was a lead writer for seasons 2 and 3 of the acclaimed Wellington Paranormal. Recently, Cori, alongside co-writers Louis Mendiola and Johnny Brugh, sold a TV pilot to FX, a major U.S. network. He’s also just signed with Media Range Partners in L.A.—the same management company representing the likes of Tom Hardy, Halle Berry, Bradley Cooper, Colin Farrell, and even Eminem. Joel Mccarthy (Friday Only)
I've got 5 years experience in factory work which equates to 2 years in prison so I'm emotionally numbed. Dont tell my mum i'm here though, still scared of her.

David Stuart (Friday & Saturday)
David Stuart describes himself as  effortlessly beautiful —and who are we to argue? A comedian, lover, fighter, leader, and international pre-celebrity, David made the move from Scotland to New Zealand in 2021 and has been carving out a name for himself in the local comedy scene ever since.

😂 Regular performer at New Zealand’s top comedy galas Whether on stage, behind the mic, or writing for top-tier shows, Nick Rado continues to cement his reputation as one of the sharpest comedy voices in the industry. Better known in Ōtāhuhu as J Doggg or The Godfather of Geriatric Rap, John Carr is the first performer to successfully transition from hard-edged street rap to stand-up comedy—without missing a beat.
John Carr
After a 55-year quest to be taken seriously, Carr finally gave up and embraced stand-up in 2010, and he hasn’t looked back since. Now a crowd favorite in Auckland, a cult hero in Hamilton, and completely ignored in Browns Bay, his comedy journey has been anything but predictable. Comedy Highlights:🎤 2022 Raw Comedy Quest Grand Finalist
🏆 Voted Best Newcomer in the Upper North Island
😂 Bringing his brand-new solo show to the 2024 NZ International Comedy Festival—don’t miss it! Awards & Achievements:🏆 2013 New Zealand Comedy Guild Award for Outstanding Artistic Achievement…
(Unfortunately, it was on behalf of Rhys Darby, who had other plans that night.) Catch John for one night only—expect bars, belly laughs, and absolutely no backing down!
Annie Guo (Saturday Only)
In no time at all, Annie has been causing quite a stir in the comedy world. From rocking the stage at the @ncomedyfestival in 2024 alongside the hilarious cast of  Immhahagrants  to shining in the National Raw Comedy Competition, Annie is quickly becoming the one to watch.

Family-Friendly Attractions

The venue area is slightly smaller, but the content is still very rich, and the rainy day is not affected at all. Very suitable for playing with the nearby Mission Bay. The souvenirs inside are very cute and bought several plush 😘

Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour

Auckland War Memorial Museum

Museums

The whole experience is great and it is a good place to understand New Zealand&#39;s history and culture. The museum is quite big, it is worth a long time to visit, there are many interactive exhibits, especially suitable for walking the baby. There is also Chinese service, recommended.

Mount Eden

Night Attractions

M69***65

Although Mount Eden is not high, it is overlooking the entire Auckland from the top of the mountain and has a particularly wide view. The remains of the crater are clearly visible, and the grass covers it, a peaceful green. It is not difficult to go up all the way. You can also encounter sheep on the hillside. The leisurely appearance makes people unable to take a few more photos. The wind on the top of the mountain is very strong, but it is also very fresh, and the mood is particularly clear. It is the kind of good place that does not need tickets and does not need planning, but can leave a very deep memory.

Auckland Domain

Auckland Central Park is not like the common landscape parks in the city. It is more like a natural forest. The winding tree-lined paths and the tall trees on both sides make you feel like you are walking into the original green field, with thick fallen leaves and soft soil under your feet. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants, which is very suitable for jogging, walking the dog or just taking a quiet walk. There are also several sculptures and small bridges hidden along the way, which adds a little fun. Although it is not far from the city, you can completely escape the rhythm of the city once you enter the park.
