Comedian Highlight- Chris Lippy

Chris has been on the local comedy scene since it's beginning in 2018 BC (before covid)

That's a bloody long time, no wonder he looks so old.

Comedian Highlight- Áine Byrne

Áine comes from Ireland who were neutral in WW2. So you could say that Ireland is the Switzerland of WW2, except that Switzerland were the Switzerland of WW2 and nobody seems to suggest that Switzerland could have been the Ireland of WW2.

See Áine from Ireland (not Switzerland) at Backroads Comedy this Saturday at the Boathouse Theatre

Dave represents the Dutch portion of the comedy evening and also Riwaka. Some of you may know Riwaka by being fortunate enough to have not been blinking at a specific moment while driving to Golden Bay
