A One Night Stand was one of the highlight events in Pahiatua in 2020 and now the crew from DIY Comedy are bringing back another show, this time with a familiar face and a brand new line-up of performers on Saturday, May 15.
Hosted by former Pahiatua woman Maggie Malone, the show features Kitty Fitton of Wellington, Mike Osborne from Wairarapa, Dave Wiggins of Whanganui and will be headlined by Te Rina Taite, who has recently returned to New Zealand after five years on the Sydney comedy circuit.

Shake Rattle and Roll, Tuesday’s comedy fundraiser for Parkinson’s, was a somewhat diabolical success. The event shattered not only Parkinson’s stereotypes, but also shone light on other “taboo topics” such as menopause and the sex-lives of the over sixties.
The gig, held at Wellington’s gay bar Ivy, was an intimate affair with about 60 ticket holders squeezing into the low-ceilinged basement.
It featured local comedians James Nicolle and Kitty Fitton who have both been diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s, and also Neil Thornton of the New Zealand Comedy School and comedy titan Michele A’Court.
