I seem to have cut myself an excessively large piece of production pie for 2012. Which is both pleasant and daunting.

First up is my ongoing production job, managing Wellington Improv Troupe’s weekly show at the Fringe Bar. This is coming back late January with a bit of a rebrand, so watch this space!

Then we have the Wellington Fringe Festival, where I am producing WIT’s show Battle of WITs – this will be running on Sunday nights during the festival featuring old hats and newcomers alike – it’s always a blast and should be a really good time. Hopefully I’ll take the stage at some point too I’m also currently assisting in the production of the Improv Diva’s latest incarnation, Divas and the Beast – the Improv Divas are a wonderful development group featuring some really inspiring players making up all sorts of magic on stage. Can’t wait!

The New Zealand International Comedy Festival follows not long after, and I’m taking on two tasks there – WIT’s All Star Micetro first and then a show by my buddy Sam Smith and his friend Sam Irwin called Play it again, Sams. Stand up and musical comedy at the Fringe Bar!

All these production schedules at once mean I am spending my mornings drowning in spreadsheets and calendars, registration forms and contracts, blurbs and budgets. The joy of arts management…
