the people behind bitter twisted
Bitter Twisted Entertainment is owned and operated by five comedians who also happen to spend an unreasonable amount of time travelling around New Zealand making people laugh.
Different styles, different backgrounds and very different sense of humour; together, they’re the core of Bitter, Twisted & on Tap.

Dark, observation comedy built on everyday life, bad decisions and brutally honest storytelling.

A candid, honest review of life as a woman and the secrets girls all know, but never talk about publicly.

Cheeky, self-deprecating Kiwi comedy that turns Māori and Pasifika culture, everyday life and uncomfortable truths into stories you probably shouldn’t laugh at, but do.
