Comedy Hub - Comics Against Maturity

SATURDAY 28 JUNE, 8:00PM

With Matthew Willey, Siobhan Barnard, Alex Neil and special guest Gerry Keating!! Yes folks, you read that correctly. The Globe Theatre manager, Gerry, is making his stage debut. We have no idea what he is going to come up with but rest assured, no animals will be hurt during this show.

Right then. We’ve got four comedians, two hosts, a bunch of strange prompts, and something that technically resembles a game show if you squint hard enough and ignore most of the structure. There are points, but they’re handed out with all the rigour of a seagull playing blackjack. The rules exist, but not for long. At some point someone will try to win by doing jazz hands. They might succeed.

Nathan Cross and Dylan Stewart are hosting, though that term is being used very loosely. Mostly they yell things, get sidetracked, and start debates about whether Jaffa Thins are a biscuit or a cry for help.


It’s chaotic. It’s silly. It’s possibly educational, but only in a cautionary tale kind of way.

Also worth mentioning that the last two times we organised this show, New Zealand went into lockdown. Entirely unrelated. We think. But maybe don’t book anything big the next day.

Come along. Laugh until you forget what the question was.
Because sometimes Cards Against Humanity just isn’t quite stupid enough.

FLINDERS QUARTET & MICHAEL HOUSTOUN

SATURDAY 5 JULY, 7:00PM

We welcome to our shores, the Flinders Quartet, one of Australia’s most respected chamber ensembles.

It is special to be hosting an Australian ensemble, but even more special to find that they bring with them two of our most popular and beloved New Zealand musicians – pianist Michael Houstoun and violinist Wilma Smith. Wilma joined the quartet in 2020 and writes about this tour: “I’m thrilled that the Flinders Quartet’s first-ever concert tour to New Zealand will include a collaboration with my long-time friend and musical partner, Michael Houstoun. We’ll be bringing you a programme of beloved masterpieces and the NZ premiere of a work by eminent Aboriginal composer/singer, Deborah Cheetham Fraillon, especially written for Flinders Quartet.”

The programme begins with Beethoven’s Opus 95 String Quartet. Written before he embarked on his “late quartets”, it is commonly titled “Serioso” and is one of the most compact of Beethoven’s quartets.

The major work on the programme will be Dvořák’s popular Piano Quintet and who better to play the brilliant piano part than Michael Houstoun. This concert promises to be one of the season’s highlights.

Doppellooper

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 6:15PM

People often wonder what it might be like to have a doppelgänger somewhere out there in the world - and what it would be like to bump into them. In 2022, in a strange twist of fate, Graeme James and Sonic Delusion, two flat cap wearing, world traveling, multi-instrumentalist live looping indie musicians realised they had somehow ended up in the same town in Taranaki.

After being mistaken for each other one too many times, the musical doppelgängers decided to embrace the inevitable and team up to form world’s first (and only) looping supergroup ’Doppellooper’. With over 25 years of combined experience as professional musicians, they will be sharing songs and stories from the road in this one off performance. Brilliant musicianship meets improvised chaos in this hilarious and captivating show that features over 15 instruments and two loopers at the top of their game.

Chamber Music NZ - Four Last Songs

SUNDAY OCTOBER 12, 4:00PM

Composed in the year before his passing, the Four Last Songs are held by many to be Richard Strauss’ most beautiful, sensuous, and moving composition. They are songs of farewell and of gentle heartbreak. The words of the final song, Im Abendrot, speak of an elderly couple walking hand in hand, at rest from their wanderings, away from life. The final verse:
O weiter, stiller Friede! O vast and silent peace!
So tief im Abendrot So deep in sunset glow,
Wie sind wir wandermüde- How weary we are with wandering-
Ist dies etwa der Tod? Could this perhaps be death?

For this special premier performance, Salina Fisher has arranged the Four Last Songs for NZTrio and celebrated Australian soprano Emma Pearson.
