Nicola Brown: Space Invaders
Ōtepoti/Dunedin
A fearless, funny deep dive into mysteries we rarely talk about. Nicola Brown blends sharp stand-up with taboo-busting storytelling, transforming awkward truths into outrageous belly laughter. Award-winning, unflinchingly honest, and surprisingly uplifting - Space Invaders is the comedy show that sidesteps shame and lands squarely in your heart (and lap).
Armed with a PowerPoint of pelvic pandemonium, giant crocheted organs, and a cast of romance scammers who’ve failed to notice how gay she is, clinical psychologist-turned-comedian Nicola Brown delivers high-energy comedy about bodies, boundaries, and the awkward miracle of being human.
From midlife mayhem to pelvic floor revelations, Space Invaders is funny, chaotic, and real - comedy that might change how you see the world, and your own body.
