AUCKLAND, NZ (August 29, 2022) - Award winning comedian Rob Brydon and his eight-piece band will head to Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch with his new show, Rob Brydon – A Night Of Songs & Laughter in 2023.

Rob said: “I'm so excited to be heading back to New Zealand and getting back on stage with this new show. Touring with this incredible band of musicians is such a delight. I'm looking forward to getting around your fine country next year and bringing some much needed music and laughter.”
