We are pleased to open registration for the 2021 Peter Jowett and Industry Awards event, to be held at The Hilton Auckland on Tuesday October 26th.

Introducing our MC and entertainer for the evening:
Ben Hurley

Ben has conquered the toughest of crowds and reviewers alike and is adept at tailoring his material and persona to what the event requires. He consistently sells out shows at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, including in Wellington at the mighty San Fran during a global pandemic.

Ben is widely recognised from his regular appearances on THREE's 7Days, The Project, and is now a regular contributor on TVNZ's Seven Sharp. He has had numerous other TV appearances with several Comedy Galas, AotearoHa, hosting After Hours, Funny Roots, @Seven and hosting the 2010 New Zealand Music Awards.

Covid Considerations:

The event will only be held providing Auckland is at Alert Level 1.

Refunds - full refunds are available via credit card or bank credit should the event be cancelled.
