Terrible Ideas is about the thoughts you write down at 2am, thinking you’re a genius, then dismiss in the cold light of day as too odd, too ambitious, or too incomprehensible. A rotating lineup of guest performers will present their worst, wildest and weirdest comedy ideas - making for a show the likes of which no-one has ever seen before, and no-one should ever see again.
Hosted and curated by Wellington comedians Jarrod Baker and Jonny Potts, Terrible Ideas challenges its guests to find humour in previously untapped corners of their brains - or fail horribly in the attempt. It’s a panel show with a difference - and a different show every night.
Jarrod Baker is one half of 2007 Billy T Award winning musical comedy act Mrs. Peacock, and the sole member of non-award winning musical comedy act Jarrod Baker. His previous shows in the NZ International Comedy Festival include “We Are All Doomed” (2014), “Songs for my Infant Daughter” (2013), “Worst Songs of the 90s” (2012), and “Litany of Failures” (2011).
Part of the 2015 NZ International Comedy Festival.
