About this show
'Hoani Hotene is a charming ray of sunshine full of upbeat, sometimes silly, positivity' (Chortle.co.uk). Hoani Hotene is in Edinburgh with an ABBA reference and a dream. All the way from Aotearoa (NZ) Hoani has a chill style but in a way that's crack up. You'll find yourself with another favourite Kiwi comic. Winner of heaps of awards (in NZ) and even been on TV (in NZ too, but still cool), catch one of NZ's fastest rising comics this year. Winner: Billy T Award 2025 (NZ International Comedy Festival).

Hotene is older and sillier tonally, and this feels like an upgrade on last year. He is already something of a big draw back home, and has everything to suggest he’ll be performing on considerably bigger stages here…
