The Nelson Pun Battle Championship

Get ready to groan! Wits have been sharpened, wea-puns will be wielded, funny bones may well be broken. Will our competitors pun-ble under the pressure?! After a sold-out and truly cringe-worthy shows in both Wellington and Christchurch, Pun Battle is hitting Nelson this February with worse word-play than ever before. Tickets here!

Come along on Friday February 8rd at 8 pm to see Nelson’s smartest alecks, wordiest nerds and biggest pun-ks, punslingers and pun-dits battle it out in an intense and hilarious head-to-head pun-off. With over $400 cash prize money on the line, you could say that the stakes are pun-ishing. Hosted and refereed over-enthusiastic gender-mess Hugo Grrrl. Expect utter pundemonium as we decide once and for all if the pun is mightier than the sword. Because, as we all know, a good pun is its own re-word. Enter Now! Why not give it a pun-t! There's $400 in prize money to be won. Are you a writer, improvisor, comedian, or are your friends just really sick of your incessant and unsolicited word-play? Come to a place where your genius will be appreciated. First in, first serve. Email contact@hugogrrrl.com to confirm your spot.
