  • Outspoken - Valentine's date with Gary McCormick

Tonight, Gary McCormick is your man! Join him the love grotto as he celebrates the fun aspects of everyday life and the Kiwi experience, taking questions from the floor. He considers himself an expert on love and relationships and invites the audience to test him. This will be a Valentine’s date like no other!

McCormick embarked on his first poetry tour after his 1976 collection Naked and Nameless won a Pen Poetry Award. With six more collections of poetry and the satiric book Honey, I Blew up the Atoll under his belt, he went on to become one of New Zealand's most iconic entertainers, both through TV and radio, touring with Sam Hunt, Tim Shadbolt, Hello Sailor, Tom Scott and the late David Lange. Tick it off your bucket list - see him live now!
