TIM & ERIC announce one NZ show

Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim – aka TIM & ERIC from Awesome Show, Great Job! – are heading to New Zealand for one live show only in October.

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is an American sketch comedy television series created by and starring the duo that premiered in 2007 on Cartoon Networks Adult Swim comedy block in the US. The show featured surrealistic and often satirical humour, bizarre faux commercials and public access television style music acts – and soon became cult must-see tv.

Halfway through the broadcasting of the first season, Cartoon Network picked up a second series – and in total went on to make five series.

Speaking with Vanity Fair last year, Eric said that Season five (or season Cinco) would represent a very dark side of the Awesome Show series. “I think people are going to be very scared and very disturbed by it”. He noted that the pair draws equal humour from the awkwardness of The Office as they do from the awkwardness of David Lynch’s films.

Tim and Eric have brought their series to the live stage with sold out shows in the US and UK. The live performance is a monster incarnation of the hit Awesome Show including sketch comedy, short films and a rock concert! They have been delighting fans with an enthusiastic folly of offbeat comedy matched by their flamboyant costumes and eccentric personalities.

Tim and Eric perform as some of your favourite Awesome Show characters for the first time in New Zealand! There will be dancing, singing, poetry, videos, and signings after shows. Best live show on earth!

Saturday 6 October – Powerstation, Auckland
Tickets on sale Friday 22 June 9am via Ticketmaster
