Fresh & Funny (in the Foyer)

Justin Ngai (2x Best MC, Comedy Hub Awards) hosts Palmerston North's premier stand-up comedy open mic, featuring local favourites and some out-of-town guests!

​

Come on down to the Globe for a great night of laughs, right there in the foyer!

​

Entry is just $5, or $1 for students (must present valid ID at the door).

Justine Smith & Friends

NZ comedy legend Justine Smith (7 Days, NZ Comedy Gala) returns to Palmy for a huge night of laughs - supported by Jayda McIndoe, Manish Latch, Therese Angland and MC Dylan Stewart.

​

Those who have seen Justine perform, will know she does not suffer fools gladly. Her charming and expressive performance takes her audience along the journey with her, while never far from a punch line or a subtle gag using the raise of an eyebrow.
