Presented by Live Nation “One of the best stand-up comics out there” Guardian “Deeply funny” Big Issue “Your jaw will hurt from laughter” New Zealand Herald “Mined every bit of comedy available.” The Artsdesk Alan Davies thinks he’s Marty McFly but he’s older than Doc Brown. He spends more time in the pharmacy than the gym. Subject to relentless eye rolls from his kids. What is he? A late middle-aged stand up on tour for the first time in a decade. Funnier than ever, he says. Davies is a staple of British television, known for his performance as the eponymous hero of David Renwick’s hugely popular, long-running TV series Jonathan Creek, and as a permanent panelist on QI. His talk show, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, recently reached its seventh season. He is also one of the UK’s best-loved comedians. His stand-up show Urban Trauma ran in London’s West End and Life is Pain and Little Victories sold out in venues across Australia and the UK. His second memoir, Just Ignore Him was published in 2020 and the third instalment White Male Stand-Up is out now. In both his latest memoir and his latest stand-up performances, Davies covers his extensive career, the highs, the lows, and the struggles he’s experienced. Prices (General public starts 1pm, 27 November) Admit One: $73.65

Free Mums & Bubs training session

BreastFriend, the Tauranga-founded brand behind The Breasties wearable breast pump, has partnered with The Lab — NZ's flagship hybrid training facility — to gift local new mums a free MUM CLUB session. The initiative is founder-led: BreastFriend's Marie-Claire Houtsmuller built the brand after struggling to find adequate pumps or support as a first-time, exclusively pumping mother. She was also in need of a village, and this is what this is. MUM CLUB is a baby-friendly training session designed to give new parents a rare hour to move, connect, and recharge — babies and prams welcome, no cost to attend. Quote from Marie-Claire Houtsmuller, Founder, BreastFriend NZ:
