FOOL HOUSE - It's Time To Go ALL IN With This Fundraiser Cabaret
Two Billy T nominated genderfluid clowns unite in holy(ish) matrimony to showcase Pōnekes talents in a one off star-studded cabaret! The two are fundraising for their international debut with their upcoming season of Delightfool in the 2025 Melbourne Fringe Festival. With funding being scarce, time consuming and competitive the duo are looking to their community for support. Jak is simultaneously the most successful they've been in comedy yet the most financially insecure, trying to balance their work in hospitality and sustain a career in performing has been burning their candle at both ends, hence why they are beckoning their community for crowd-funding. FOOL HOUSE is bringing together Pōnekes powerhouses in a celebration of community and camaraderie. With a jackpot of local stars performing comedy, drag, burlesque, circus, clown, music, sketch and more! This is a showcase of the creative capitals performing arts scene at its best. Witness the magic when our two star-crossed jesters call on their community for support. Lets send Pōnekes beloved fools over the ditch! Booth the Clown and Jak Darling - FOOL HOUSE Wellington Dates: Friday the 27th of June, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Venue: The Fringe Bar, 26 Allen Street

Forecast Shows 100% Chance Of Campy, Comedy, Cabaret!
Press Release – NZ International Comedy Festival Two Billy T nominated genderfluid powerhouses come together in holy(ish) matrimony to showcase their talents in their award winning cabaret. The show is a raucous hour of music, clown, magic, stand-up, poetry, dance, theatre, mime, and… emus? Our duo flip gender norms through marital satire, imitating a campy heteronormative couple with reversed gender roles; they skillfully weave this dynamic through the show creating an outlandishly silly and lovable couple. Unapologetically queer, and unabashedly themselves, Delightfool is a joyous and heartwarming celebration of friendship and self-acceptance. Our stars gravitated towards each other while performing in the Pōneke comedy circuit. They came together like a supernova with their debut season of Delightfool in the Wellington Fringe Festival 2024 winning the Auckland tour ready award. After their Auckland Fringe 2024 season they frolicked away with the Outstanding theatre, Outstanding Performance (Collective), and Dunedin Fringe tour ready awards. The duo are now performing in the NZICF as 2025 Billy T Nominees. With many aforementioned skills under their belts they showcase them in a cabaret styled comedy show, giving both moments to shine on their own but ultimately come together to create a chemistry unlike any other. 'An hour of wit, sparkle, and innuendo that would be hard to beat anywhere' Margaret Austin, Theatreview, NZ 'It's queer joy that asks us to be shameless – It's laughter as rebellion. It's joy as an act of resistance.'
