Cardboard Comedy Club

30/05/2026

If you’ve been to the Cardboard Comedy Club over the last 12 months, there’s a good chance you’ve seen this guy Joel Vinsen perform - he’s been a regular on our stage.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t feature him on our Sunday lineup last week because he was busy receiving the prestigious Billy T Award for “an outstanding emerging performer with a commitment to their comedy career” (obviously he has a warped sense of priorities, a little like his humour!).

We set up Cardboard Comedy as a community venue to provide comedians with quality stage time, great audiences and a place to develop. Joel, we saw firsthand how hard you worked toward the Billy T and are stoked we could be a teeny tiny part of this by providing a stage for you to work your material.

Huge congratulations - we hope you haven’t become too famous and successful to perform in our cardboard room in the future!

🎤 Free comedy in a cardboard box… Every Sunday at 7pm in Kingsland.

Experienced comedians try new jokes and newer comedians try their best jokes, inside New Zealand’s most unique comedy venue - and yes it is actually built from cardboard!

This isn't a typical bar open mic - we carefully choose the lineup to guarantee you a good night out. Be part of the comedy development process and tell our comedians which jokes are hot and which ones burn (just don't burn the cardboard thanks). 🔥

Come see why Cardboard Comedy was named NZ Comedy Guild’s “Best Comedy Venue 2025.” 🏆
