Comedian, writer, documentary maker and A&P show aficionado Te Radar is coming to Wellsford in July for a fundraising dinner and show at the RSA in Olympus Road.
The broadcaster will be performing the best of his award-winning show, Eating the Dog, an irreverent look at some of his heroes from New Zealand history – or, as he puts it, “misfits, failures and those who died trying”.
Te Radar says the show is a hilarious romp through history that celebrates “the bumblers and the ne’er-do-wells, who personify the archetypal ‘she’ll be right’ spirit that epitomises this country”.
A Night With Te Radar will also include dinner, live auctions, raffles and door prizes, with proceeds going towards the repair and resealing, with concrete, of the old asphalt carpark at Wellsford Plunket.
Many of the auction lots have a decidedly rural theme, including a complete electric fence unit from Gallagher Industries, a child’s battery-powered Gator ATV from John Deere Whangarei, a load of fertiliser (and the spreading thereof) from G.W. Buer GroundSpread and cattle drench from The Vet Club. However, there are temptations for those less agriculturally inclined as well, including a romantic night’s bed and breakfast for two at the exclusive Takatu Lodge and Vineyard near Matakana, a cruise for two with Matakana River Tours and a half hour massage voucher from Natalie Cave Massage Therapy & Pilates.
A Night with Te Radar will take place on Friday, July 21 at the Wellsford RSA at 6.30pm. Tickets cost $60 person or $480 for a table of eight and are available from Tania Hamilton on 021 264 0424.
