About Comedy Theatre in New Zealand

Comedy theatre has been a beloved part of New Zealand's performing arts scene for generations, combining local humour with international theatrical traditions. Shows like "The Play That Goes Wrong" represent a style of theatre known as farce, where physical comedy and deliberately orchestrated chaos create an unforgettable audience experience.

The modern theatre farce typically includes elements such as:

• Slapstick comedy and physical humour
• Perfectly timed mishaps and accidents
• Props and set pieces that deliberately malfunction
• Character mix-ups and misunderstandings
• Fast-paced dialogue and quick-witted exchanges

The ASB Waterfront Theatre, as one of Auckland's premier performing arts venues, continues the tradition of bringing world-class comedy productions to Kiwi audiences. Its modern facilities and central location make it an ideal venue for experiencing live theatre in comfort.
