Graham Norton will perform three more live shows around New Zealand amid “overwhelming demand”.
Earlier this week, it was announced that the Irish talk show host would be heading to Aotearoa for the first time, to perform in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
Tickets to the shows went on presale yesterday and due to an “incredible reaction”, promoter TEG Dainty has added shows in all three cities.
The Graham Norton show host and author will travel to New Zealand in March and April 2025.
An Evening with Graham Norton will take place in Christchurch on Monday, March 24 and Tuesday, March 25, Wellington on Saturday, March 29 and Sunday March 30, and Auckland on Monday, March 31 and Tuesday, April 1 next year.
Tickets to the general public are set to go on sale today, Friday October 11, at 11am via tegdainty.com.
Norton has never performed in New Zealand, though he has a long-standing relationship with local winery Invivo and has seen the likes of TV and radio’s Ben Boyce and Jono Pryor brave his chat show’s Big Red Chair.
“I simply can’t wait to tour New Zealand for the very first time in 2025,” he said in a statement. “Bring your friends, neighbours and extended family and let’s have some fun while I share some stories about me being on the telly. You can even ask me a question if you dare.”
