The New Zealand Comedy Trust is proud to announce that their new partnership with Discovery's Three has landed funding from NZ On Air to produce four televised comedy events during the 2022 NZ International Comedy Festival.

These Festival special events will be filmed in front of live audiences during the much-loved NZ International Comedy Festival. The partnership means that audiences from across Aotearoa will be able to get their own front seat to The Comedy Gala, The Great Comedy Debate, Last Laughs and a special live episode of 7 Days on Three and ThreeNow, delivering critical comic relief during what has been a challenging time.

The new partnership with Discovery's Three is vitally important to the NZ Comedy Trust, which supports local comedians to forge sustainable careers in comedy.
