Tonight's Guest: Rove McManus (tales from the talk show trenches)

Sat 16 Jan 7pm - 8:30pm

The Hannah, Wellington

Rove McManus has had over 25 years of talk show hosting under his belt. That's a lot of talking...as well as chatting, conversing, interviewing, chin wagging and general banging-on - so why stop now?

Only this time, it's you the audience who get to ask the questions. Favourite guest? Worst disaster? What's Elmo really like?

Come spend a night of stand up and stories as Rove spills the tea reliving his days behind the desk.
