Another outrageously fun time at Basement Theatre last night! Thank you so much to our special guests Indira Stewart and Rhiannon McCall! Tonight is our last night. It's been a blast. I hope you can make it. ❤️ bit.ly/robbienicoltickets

My goodness it's Friday already! Only two shows to go! We're beyond thrilled to be joined by one of this year's Billy T nominees, Rhiannon McCall, and I'll be asking Indira Stewart whether I should attempt to follow her pathway into television: 'pivoting from NZ Idol to becoming one of our nation's best journalists'. I can't wait to see you there! 🎉 bit.ly/robbienicoltickets

After last night's Late Night Pilot I still don't have a late night show, so we're bringing out the big guns! 😤 Australian legend Kirsty Webeck joins us fresh from performing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala (on the telly!), and I'll interview Perlina Lau about how she managed to get a critically acclaimed show onto New Zealand television. I can't wait to see you there. 🥳 bit.ly/robbienicoltickets

Not used to doing TV interviews, but I've been told that in the future I should *not* ask the hosts to state their salaries live on air. 👍 We're learning! Come watch me interview Lloyd Burr on my show tonight! bit.ly/robbienicoltickets

07/05/2024

Usually I wouldn't recommend going to opening night, but this will be your one and only chance to see my partner, last year's Billy T Award Winner Abby Howells, roast me for a solid five minutes straight. Also joining us is co-host of Newshub's AM Show, Lloyd Burr, to talk about why this might not be the best time for me to try and get a TV show... Get your tickets before they're gone! bit.ly/robbienicoltickets

David Correos! Q Theatre! 25th of May! 8:30pm! New Zealanders are rubbish at promoting themselves, so I'm here to promote someone else. 🫡

New Zealanders! We're bad at self promotion. So I'm here to promote someone else. www.comedyfestival.co.nz

Hi, I'm every New Zealand political party and here's why I'm right.

17/10/2023

Why are swing voters so important? ⚖️ And how long until economists stop answering Robbie's fact-check requests?

13/10/2023

Here are some TV shows that we're going to pitch depending on who's in charge of government funding after the next election. Just a selection of TV shows that we think will really resonate with either the Labour Party or the National Party.

Exciting news! Our silly late night show is about to finish its winter run - but the kind people at Basement Theatre have extended it into Spring! 🌻

It is a very silly show, and I feel like a deranged political Graham Norton and I like it a lot. Thanks for selling out our shows and watching on Patreon and I look forward to seeing you this Wednesday! ❤️ bit.ly/rnlnp

A sneak preview of 'Two Way Ferry', a very important crime thriller coming soon to TVNZ and TVNZ On Demand. (Maybe.)

I cannot say a big enough thank you to Jack Tame and Rhiannon McCall for giving up their Thursday night for our very silly show. ❤️ You were both absolute dream guests and shined so bright. Thank you to Barnaby and Tim and Finn and Abby and Rosemary and all the kind sweet people who help me make exactly the show I want to make. We've had two sell-out shows so far, so come along for the third! September 21st. bit.ly/rnlnp We can't wait to see you there.
