Danny Bhoy, one of the most sought after comedians working in the world today, returns to New Zealand with a national tour, headlining the annual NZ International Comedy Festival in May - performing in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Hastings, Invercargill, New Plymouth and Oamaru.

2011 welcomes Danny’s return to our shores with a brand new show to delight his Kiwi fans. He is consistently one of the highest selling comedians in New Zealand, and since his last visit here in 2009, his worldwide reputation as one of the finest observational storytellers around has continued to flourish.

His recent time in the USA and Canada resulted in an hour-long Comedy Central Special and a highly prestigious turn on the David Letterman Show and saw him take on his first solo tour across North America.

Described by one critic as “the stand-up equivalent of Bill Bryson”, Danny is a truly international comedian who is a master at uncovering those little quirks and idiosyncrasies about a country which others seem to miss.

His new show ‘Messenger (please do not shoot.)’ comes fresh off the back of a hugely successful tour of the UK performing in theatres up and down the UK, and filming a special one-off set at London’s famous Apollo Theatre for the BBC.

As always, audiences can expect more hilarious yarns from the globetrotting Scot, who regularly draws on his own life experiences as a source of rich comedy fodder.
