| Description | Since its debut on New Zealand TV screens in 2004, the side-splittingly funny and proudly non-PC bro'Town has reached cult status, amassing thousands of local and international fans, winning awards left, right and centre, and earning critical acclaim. Hang with the boys - Vale, Valea, Sione, Mack and Jeff da Maori - as they take to the stage for the first time at the Festival.
Swapping the big, bad city for the friendly streets of Wellington, what new adventures does the capital hold in store for them? A session at Parliament with Helen Clark? A jam with the crew from Fat Freddy's? A starring role in Peter Jackon's next movie? Well, most definitely there'll be a run-in with a southerly. bro'Town, New Zealand's first primetime animated series, won best comedy at the Screen Awards for the third time in a row in 2007. Join bro'Town's creators as they recount the long and winding road to Morningside in a show packed with special guests and behind-the-scenes secrets. |
