Comedy Fest Questionnaire: Kade Nightengale

Comedy Fest Questionnaire: Kade Nightengale

1) Tell us what your show is called this year?

PANIC!

2)  Why?

Because our show is all about finding the comedy and magic in life’s lemons.

3) Can you give us a few hints as to what broadly your festival show is about?

Our show is not your average stand up show, its a mix of comedy with a twist of magic and a dash of dancing.

4) How much time have you spent crafting the show over the past 12 months since the end of the last festival?

The show has been under construction, thankfully not with Mainzeal for about 8 months.

5) The comedy festival is turning 21 this year – it’s a big age 21 – what are your memories of being 21? Or if you’re not old enough yet, you lucky person, what are your hopes for being 21?

Well Jeremy just turned 21 and Kade isn’t quite there yet so Jeremy’s memories of being 21 involve last weekend and Kade’s hopes of being 21 is making it there and having a well deserved drink of course.

6) The Comedy festival is one big party and catch up for a month - is there anyone you’re looking forward to seeing over here either socially or on stage?

Really looking forward to seeing Steve Hughes and Jimeoin this year, stoked with the international acts this year. Really looking forward to Guy Williams as well, saw him earlier this year and was in stitches.

7) What’s the comedy scene like at the moment who do you rate and why?

In Wellington it's great, the comedy scene is always buzzing and has an awesome following which is always a nice feeling if you are ever doing an open mic night

8)  What’s the best piece of audience interaction you’ve had?

When we performed the show at BATS earlier this year and had James Noikse up for a magic trick.

9) What’s the most memorable part of performing for you within the last 12 months?

Having a sold out night at BATS theatre!

10) When we say New Zealand International Comedy Festival to you, what’s the first thing you think of?

A big yellow nose and then extreme excitement for what’s on the way!

11) How would you persuade people to come and see your show?
A little bit of begging goes along way! Haha nah the magic angle is always a great one to go with because its something a bit different to your normal comedy show but we always promise a great night if they come along! Please come.....please. Seriously please come.
