late night knife fight
TĀMAKI MAKAURAU EDITION
Monthly at The Pumphouse
We'll bring the knives; you bring the judgement.
The monthly improv battle where three teams face off in a fight for glory, honour, and the audience's favour. The winner returns in the headline spot next month; the losers wail and gnash their teeth.
The first rule of Knife Fight is... BOOK EARLY
Tickets $25 F / $18 C
Making New Work
Late Night Knife Fight is a joyful proving ground for improvisors creating new work and ensembles, offering development, coaching, and collaboration across companies and styles. An opportunity to catch the next big thing in improv before it takes flight, work developed at the original LNKF has gone on to full seasons and festivals, with The National Average, Two Dope Teens (Best Improv Nelson Fringe 2018), The History Boy (Nominated Outstanding Performer Fringe 2021), Magnus Steele, and more in development.
