About AUNTY [Akl]

Winner of Best Comedy Auckland Fringe 2017
Winner of "Best Line in a Kiwi Play" 9th Annual Auckland Theatre Awards 2017
HELLO EVERYONE ITS YOUR AUNTY HERE. FAMILY BBQ WILL BE AT MINE THIS YEAR. BRING A PLATE BUT I'M ON A DIET SO PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE. BYO BOOZE AND DURRIES. NO SCABS THIS YEAR THANK YOU.
Fresh off sold-out seasons in Auckland (2017) and Wellington (2017 & 2018), Johanna Cosgrove brings her award-winning solo performance to NZ International Comedy Festival for the family reunion you never knew you wanted or needed. This one woman tornado is a satirical homage to the Aunties we love, and love to hate.
As the sav starts pouring, new boyfriends are lovingly embarrassed, everyone in the audience is part of the family. The yarns are spun and drama ensues as we begin to question the attitudes and relationships with our own family.
And we're not joking. You really should bring a plate.
