The New Zealand International Comedy Festival will be held from April 29 to May 22, 2011, in Auckland. The usual Festival favorites such as SKYCITY Gastrocomique, Class Comedians, Stand-up for Kids, Late Laughs, Best of the Billys and the prestigious Last Laugh, are all set to enthrall the audience. Comedy in all its hues that you’ve been waiting to hear beckons you to book your air tickets as early as possible and board coach class flight or business class flights to Auckland to savor the hilarious moments that the festival promises to offer. Often known as the “City of Sails” for the large number of yachts that grace the Witemata Harbour and the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland is simply a fantastic destination to visit. The city can be easily reached from any part of the world as it is well-connected by several international airlines from prominent cities around the world.

Comedian Arj Barker from the US, who is renowned worldwide for his numerous television appearances, live shows and genius portrayal of ‘Dave’ on the hit HBO show Flight of the Conchords, will be launching the ultimate comedy caper as host for both the Visa Comedy Gala and Visa First Laughs opening nights.
