Airhorn! PRESS!
Here are some nice words and recognition given to our show!
“Your work is a testament to the creativity and artistic talent of Wellington. And I say this with the utmost certainty: I believe Airhorn is bringing our city into the golden age.”
- The Honourable Tory Whanau, Mayor of Wellington
“In a city brimming with incredible shows and an overwhelming array of comedy acts, Airhorn! manages to stand out as a truly unique experience. Month after month, the Newtown Community Centre becomes the stage for this wildly entertaining production, defying the constant threats of shutdown from the Newtown City Council. But Airhorn! isn’t one to back down — tonight’s show promises to be the ultimate showdown, a long-awaited brawl to settle the score with the Newtown City Council once and for all...
“...The night culminates in a full scale fight, a wild, multi-venue (live-streamed to the audience when it moves away from the stage) wrestling extravaganza. With Alayne and Hoani providing commentary, professional wrestlers representing Airhorn! (including Math Manic, Dev Kyro, and ‘The Beast’ Jade Priest) face off against the Newtown City Council (embodied by Matty the Intern and Grayson Harvey). It’s a chaotic, prop-filled spectacle that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Airhorn!
“Airhorn! is a triumph of creativity, community and comedy. The tech is incredible, the location is ideal (complete with all-gender bathrooms), and the energy is infectious. If you’re looking for a show that’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and utterly unique, Airhorn! is not to be missed.”

“Leaving Airhorn!, I felt inspired. It reminded me what a comedy variety show can be when it’s not just a line-up of ego-driven funny people trying to one-up each other. There’s no possible way for these acts to feel competitive with each other because they’re so wonderfully collaborative and so incredibly different in styles. It’s a home-grown, honest and hilarious mix of the best comedians in Wellington. It just left me wanting more of the warm, supportive vibe of comedy that I’ve seen previously in all of these performers’ work, and I know just where to get it from now on.
“It’s shows like this that restore my faith in comedy. Comedy can come in a myriad of forms, not even limited to the vast array on display tonight at the Newtown Community Centre. This is peak curation of talent and I hope that it keeps up the good fight against the bureaucrats that seek to destroy it.”
