Saturday Night Live Comedy - Austen Found: The Undiscovered Musical
From 26 August to 14 October, “Austen Found: The Undiscovered Musicals of Jane Austen” tours the length and breadth of New Zealand as the national Arts on Tour NZ tour.
We're thrilled to be hosting the first show of the next AOTNZ homegrown performance, and invite you along to join us!
“....it's the good pavlova, the one someone has taken a few goes to get just right. The brilliant version.” - Waikato Times
“Jane Austen would be turning in her grave with delight…Rollicking good fun!” - Rip It Up Adelaide
Penny Ashton is New Zealand’s own global comedienne who has been making a splash on the world stage since 2002.
She has performed over 1000 solo shows and has sold out from Edinburgh to Edmonton to Tokoroa.
Addicted to Darcy? Lost all Sense and Sensibility? Bonkers for Big Balls?
Well, put down your cross-stitching and join Penny Ashton, Lori Dungey and Jamie Burgess as they swoon, romp, and pianoforte their way through an entirely improvised Austenian Musical.
Charming suitors, meddlesome mothers, tight breeches and surprisingly well-educated girls will all paint a vivid picture in song, dance and passionate handholding.
For her fifth Arts on Tour NZ Penny Ashton (Olive Copperbottom, Promise and Promiscuity, Sense and Sensibility – The Court Theatre, Hot Pink Bits) is bringing along
her most accomplished improvising friend, Lori Dungey (M3GAN, Lord of the Rings, Xena) and her most melodical musical maestro, Jamie Burgess (Canterbury Opera, K Rd Strip, Basil Fawlty), to perambulate the NZ countryside spreading laughter and delightful bonnets as they go. An entirely improvised Austenian Musical.
Complete Sell-out Comedy Festival (2007 and 2021) and Adelaide Fringe (2010)
“Penny Ashton and Lory Dungey – two excellent improvisers who know what they’re doing.” - Dominion Post

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
