✨ Friends of Paper Goat: Sexy Ghost Boy ✨
Our friend and theatre maven George Fenn is bringing the cult classic performance that has blown minds across Nz and Australia to Tamaki Makaurau.
Begin with a circle. Work your way up, slowly. Bravely. The Macarena happens to completion. Scream. This is how you summon ‘Sexy Ghost Boy,’ an award winning and hilariously f***able spirit, described by witnesses as a hot mess mash up of Mr Bean and Marina Abramović. It is very funny. Never be the same in a very cool way.

🗓️Date: Thursday, 23th April
Doors: 7:40 pm
📍Location: The Button Factory, 2 Abbey St, Auckland
R18+ | Contains Sexual Content and Humour

🎉 Thanks for joining us for a wild ride of joyous chaos, culminating in Act 2 director Bridie Thomson and the crew discovered joy, darkness and Mrs Honeypot in ‘Paulhood’ an improvised play that asks what if it all went to hell in a handbag and back again? 🙌🙌🙌
Audience, you were playful, confused, supportive, celebratory and all the things that we could ask for when staging an absurd improvised theatre experiment. Don't worry, the crew will be back next month on May 12th!
In the meantime don’t miss out on ensemble members shows coming up in the NZ Comedy Fest like The Bridie & Rebecca Variety Show and The Dice Show NZICF 2026. Plus for the next two Thursdays at Move Space you can see Gareth hosting his work in progress panel show Garithmatic! (It is absolutely bonkers fun)
