Comedian Heath Franklin's Chopper is heading to Rotorua with his new show next year.
Repeat Offender will come to Rotorua's Civic Theatre on May 13 as part of the show's international debut in New Zealand.
As seen on TV3's 7 Days, Chopper is a worldwide comedy icon who had sold more than 250,000 tickets in Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
Meanwhile, the popular show 7 Days Live is not returning to Rotorua as part of the 2013 tour - but organisers say it's not because of a lack of support.
Publicist Kate Simmonds of Elephant Publicity said last year's Rotorua show almost sold out but because of time restraints this year the tour wasn't able to head to Rotorua.
