My name is Rosie Carnahan Darby, and along with my husband Rhys Darby we plan to take three award winning Kiwi comedy shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August.
While all three shows are performed by wildly talented comics and have already proven that they are successful, the reality is they need to either sell their first born to the devil or fundraise to cover some of the marketing costs.
They have saved money for
flights, worked hard to pay for accommodation and resigned themselves to 17p
baked bean diets. The outlay for the entry in to the Edinburgh
Fringe Guides is 746 pounds, that is $NZ1500 per show. Then the cost
of flyers and posters is additional.
What do you get for supporting
these shows? The knowledge that you are helping develop and support the
NZ Comedy industry!
But wait there's more...
An invite to a very special event in Auckland on MONDAY MAY 7 at 7pm during the NZ International Comedy Festival. Hosted by Rhys Darby, you will see a short version of each show and have an opportunity to chat to Rhys and Rosie about why they are doing this.
The shows...
Jamie Bowen as Munfred Bernstein and his Cabinet of Wonder.
Initially this show was funded by Creative Comedy Initiative from the NZ Comedy Trust. It was devised with Benjamin Crowder and directed by Jesse Griffin.
Square Eye Pair with Eli Matthewson, Hamish Parkinson and Elise Whitson.
They won the Auckland Fringe Festival Best Comedy Award with this show.
Chris Brain in A Better Place
Chris won the Billy T Award with this show in 2009. He has also toured extensively with Rhys Darby supporting him on his Australasian tour.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to thank you all so much for your support, even though we did not make our funding goal. But we were warmed by the fact that so many of you were keen to support us, so we are going to try again...after the NZ International Comedy Festival!
As we did not achieve our goal your cards will, of course not be charged, and we will not be putting on the Thankyou show on Monday night.
Have a lovely day, and I hope you are all seeing lots of comedy this month!
Cheers
Rosie, Rhys, Jamie, Chris, Eli, Hamish, and Elise
