Tim Batt
Eternal Optimist
Come for the wry political observations, stay for the uplifting takeaways and drug stories.
It’s 2026 and tragically, comedy has become important. After years away from the festival circuit, Tim has decided it’s now time to ignore his young children and make light of the rising tide of fascism.
This show will contain no less than 20 excellent jokes, 3 delightful anecdotes, 2 illegal acts and 1 apology for Tim accidentally causing an absolutely dire current situation in his native, Aotearoa.
