Rhian-Vested Ghost Light Theatre 146 Bridge St, Nelson. 8 – 9.pm. Loveable hot mess and award-winning comedian Rhian Wood-Hill takes a lot of gambles. Sometimes he knows what he’s doing! On stage and at the poker table Wood-Hill has charm, wit, and thorough analysis ensuring his success – although his career has not landed him in comedy without some wacky risks. Rhian-vested is Wood-Hill’s brand new hour comedy special about his time as a professional poker player, which debuted at New Zealand International Comedy Festival this year and won BEST COMEDY at Nelson Fringe Festival. The South Island tour follows on from an August run on cruise ships. Wood-Hill’s incredibly popular debut solo show, How I Met My Father, was one of Ghost Light's very first and delved deep into family drama. Rhian-vested now raises the personal stakes even higher than before: A show that strips Rhian and his own decisions bare to show the highs and lows of living off casino cash on the Brisbane coast. Pop a few chips on the table, Rhian is all in and has some tall tales to tell… but he isn’t bluffing. Details at: https://www.ghostlight.nz/whats-on/

'The Girl who Climbed a Mountain and Saved the World' is a new play by Nelson-based playwright, Lisa Allan. It has been inspired by the stories about mountains and water that were shared with Lisa in 2017, by members of the community. From these gifts, Lisa has created a 'play for voices.' The story is told by three narrators who come in and out of character. We meet Kira, a young girl who hears the voices of the Earth; Hannah, a dairy farmer from Riwaka and Tom, a Kiwi who is on his OE in India. The performance is akin to that of a live radio play, with the beautiful addition of live, original music and elements of physical theatre. A pair of green gumboots encounter a giant eel, a traveller gives himself to the Ganges and a young girl gazes up at Mount Taranaki... will the mountain move once more? Uplifting, new, NZ theatre.

Ballista. Ghost Light Theatre 146 Bridge St, Nelson. 11am – noon & 2-3.pm. A street hustler challenges a speakeasy starlet to risk all for a shot at the top, the big top that is! Pablo Puzzlario is a streetwise juggler, grifting his living off the busy boulevards of the big city. Popsi Quixotic is a speakeasy starlet with a sweet gig down at The Clubroom, a smoky underground venue downtown. On this fateful night a chance rainstorm will bring these two together, intertwining their fates and offering a shot at the big time. Here at The Clubroom, a meeting is made, a plan is proposed, and the lives of Pablo & Popsi will never be the same again. But coming from the opposite ends of the showbiz scale, it won’t be an easy road. They will have to overcome their differences and get their act together for the gamble of a lifetime! The 3 Ring Riot is a traveling circus company now based in Nelson. Known for their high level of presentation, multi award winning skills, and unique and authentic concepts, The Riot presents truly entertaining circus shows that have delighted audiences all over New Zealand.
