One of New Zealand's most successful female comedians, Jan Maree is to host a night of laughter, quiz, music and entertainment at the Morrinsville Art Gallery with plenty of fun and banter.

Jan Maree began her performance career as a poet. Moving from spoken word to stand up in 1994, Jan broke the big time as a new face on television’s Pulp Comedy in 1997. Winning the prestigious Billy T award in 2001 saw Jan springboard into the spotlight. Accolades since include taking both the New Zealand Comedy Guild President’s Medal and New Zealand Comedy Festival Trust’s Best Show gong in 2009.  In  2011 she won the Fred Award, in honour of John Clark aka Fred Dagg, becoming the first female comedian to receive the NZ International Comedy Festival's highest award.

Jan has worked across multiple radio and television stations, toured extensively both in New Zealand and across the globe, most notably at the legendary Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe. 

She is lending her hand, and her humour and energy to Morrinsville in supporting our Art Gallery Fundraiser. It promises to be a fun night!
