Wellington is in for a month full of laughs as the New Zealand International Comedy Festival returns for another year. 

There are more than 150 shows across the month, including renowned New Zealand comedian Josh Thomson and his show Old Mate. 

Thomson, as seen on 7 Days, Taskmaster NZ, The Project and the Australian adaption of The Office, told Nick Mills the show is about how he is slowly finding himself becoming an old man - far from the young buck he used to be. 

The show comes to Wellington on the 15th and 16th of May at Te Auaha. Tickets from comedyfestival.co.nz.
