Musical Comedy Night at The Tauranga Club

Musical Comedy Night Performing musical comedy as The Singing Hobbit, Katrina McGuinness combines a powerhouse voice, relational humour and the sort of brutally honest storytelling that can only come from a woman with enough life experience to know better — and enough optimism to do it anyway. Sex, Marriage and Other Disasters is a mix of Stand Up Comedy, Cabaret and Musical Theatre that combines original songs, comedy, storytelling and one woman's spectacularly imperfect adventures through love, marriage, divorce, dating, parenting and menopause and everything nobody warned us would happen in between.
