OFFICIAL PREVIEW FROM THE 2025 SEASON
STAND UP
COMEDY
IN 2025 Theo Performs his first comedy hour ‘Judging By The Look of Things’ as part of the NZ International comedy festival.
STYLE: Character, Impressions, Race and Musical.
You can’t judge a book by its cover, but you can book a judge to be on the cover. Theo Shakes was the judge in disguise and like any judge he picked apart every little detail. Audiences joined him for 1 hour, in the trial of the century to SOLD OUT shows.
Stand up comedian and Billy T nominee Itay Dom opened for Theo each night as part of the week.
