Two comedic performers in witches hats clowning around on a stage.
12 – 18 Oct

Hotsy-Totsy

  • Comedy
  • Cabaret

Lifelong friends since 2023 and longtime creative collaborators, Ava and Peggie have done it all. Balloon animals, face painting, close-quarters sleight of hand, far-quarters sleight of hand, you name it. They’ve found glitter in places you can hardly imagine. But heavy are the heads that wear the magician hats, and these witches needed a change. It was dressed as Anna and Elsa for the Wellington City Tākina Convention Centre Disney Princess Ball that they realised: they’ve gotta book some better gigs.

This is a variety show for people that like seeing a variety of skills and talents if the variety of skill and talents you like are just Ava and Peggie.
