About this event
Timprovise had a stellar 10-show run in Tāmaki Makaurau and Te Whanganui-a-Tara, and now he’s bringing it to @poppys.comedy.
There’s not much else to say—read these review highlights 9and the whole review) and don’t miss out on this hood performance in the hood.
Tim Provise – The Kapahaka Dropout - The SpinOff – May 2025
“Safe to say that when Tim Provise walked out onto the stage with a can of Woodys in hand, I knew we were going to be in for a show.”
“Tim Provise said his show would be like drinking in the garage with him, and it certainly felt that way. The proud South Aucklander has now moved to Taranaki, but his show is rooted in Manurewa – where he draws on his experiences as a white-passing Māori growing up in the hood.”
“That being said, its self-deprecating “red pill humour” certainly appealed to me. There were moments that felt all too relatable and I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. With shades of Dave Chapelle and Bernie Mac, Tim Provise is a diamond in the rough who can only get better as he continues to perfect his craft. “
