'Loser' set to be a comedy festival champion (+video)

'Loser' addresses the difficulties of high school reunions and the way people behave when confronted by their past.

The high school reunion has long been good fodder for books and movies and Thomas Sainsbury's Loser, at the NZ International Comedy Festival from Wednesday, is no exception.

The play charts the fortunes of six former Glenwood High schoolmates who meet again at their ten year reunion.

It's a tales of failed dreams, painful memories and a giant school-shaped cake.

Loser is on at the Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre from Wednesday, April 16 - Sunday, April 20. Tickets are $15 and available from Ticketek.
