The New Zealand International Comedy Festival is a curated umbrella festival, which means performers and producers wishing to be a part of the programme must submit an application; including a brief bio and details of the show being submitted. The festival then selects the appropriate acts and schedules the venues accordingly. Applications open around mid September each year, and programming is finalised in December. The Performers' Hub contains all you need to know to about how the NZICF works.
