ZM is stoked to announce the Best Foods Comedy Gala is back for 2026!
Get Ready Aotearoa, the Best Foods Comedy Gala is back to launch the 2026 NZ International Comedy Festival with a massive night of world-class laughs!
This year’s Gala will be hosted by none other than Dai Henwood, one of Aotearoa’s most beloved comedy icons.
Dai’s hosting a line-up stacked to the rafters with a blend of local legends and international favourites.
Expect big laughs, big energy, and the kind of chaos only a packed-out crowd can deliver. The Gala sells out year after year, so secure your seats early or lock in the perfect treat for the comedy lover in your life.
All proceeds support the New Zealand Comedy Trust and its work developing the next generation of comedy talent across Aotearoa.
