- **Event Description**: PopRox is bringing their beloved improvised Christmas comedy show to the New Zealand festival of Christmas! PopRox is a professional improv theatre company from Wellington, specialising in slick, hilarious (and a little bit naughty) comedy shows, and for one night only their fully improvised retelling of the greatest story of them all is lighting up the stage at The Offering in Greytown.

A heavily pregnant Mary and a doting Joseph embark on a road-trip where they'll escape an evil king, come across three wise guys and just try to deliver this holy baby. Think "Life of Brian" with a heavy dose of kiwi humour! It's a night of laughs, heartfelt moments and great food with a dinner and a show at the gorgeous The Offering cafe. Enjoy an adults-only night out filled with laughter where these expert performers craft a story with a little help from you! Will Mary give birth in the back seat of Mazda Demio? Will the evil King Herod outlaw casual Friday? Will the three wise guys give the audience any helpful advice at all? There's only one way to find out. Book your tickets now and be sure to arrive early to enjoy drinks and a delicious dinner at The Offering.

“All of the mahi these performers put in results in a show that is hilarious, engaging and leaves you wanting so much more.”
“What PopRox is doing here is nailing the tone and absurdity that the Nativity surely must have been filled with” Elliott Lam. Wellyott.
