The co-creator of The Office, Stephen Merchant, is bringing his live stand-up show to New Zealand.
Merchant - Ricky Gervais' partner-in-crime on hit shows The Office, Extras and Life's Too Short - will perform two New Zealand shows in December.
He brings his Stephen Merchant Live: Hello Ladies... show to Wellington's Opera House on December 17, and the Auckland Town Hall on December 19.
Merchant admitted he was trying to find a wife during his Down Under trip.
"Most people don't realise that I was a stand-up comedian before I met Ricky Gervais and his coat-tails," he said in a statement.
