Join us for a one-night only live event

If you're enjoying our countdown of the Top 100 NZ TV Shows of the 21st century, you'll love our upcoming live show in Auckland.

We've enlisted beloved comedians Kura Forrester and Rhiannon McCall, our very own Alex Casey and fellow Spinoff writers Stewart Sowman-Lund and Lyric Waiwiri-Smith to make a case for why their favourite local show should have been #1. Join us at Q Theatre on October 31 for a riotous night out.
