Join award-winning kiwi family entertainer Captain Festus McBoyle for an unforgettable whānau comedy theatre experience laced with songs, poems, stories and epic fun.
Now stripped bare of his motley crew, The Prose and Con offers a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with this loveable rogue of the sea as he flies solo by the seat of his pants and offers a fabulously fun show that is both raw and incredibly honest.
Filled to the brim with well-crafted songs, extremely clever lyrical content, awe-inspiring tales of the sea (some tall, some true) and plenty of the usual cheek we’ve learnt to expect from this one-of-a-kind ‘Punk Rock’ Pirate, this event promises to be more fun than a squirrel up ya jumper!
Caution: Special guests may well appear - they generally do!
The Stage is wheelchair accessible. For full details about accessibility at BATS, go to bats.co.nz/about-bats/accessibility
“[Captain Festus McBoyle's] live act is in my opinion, the best live act in New Zealand and simply not to be missed.”

Image Description: Punk Rock Pirate Captain Festus McBoyle is captured in a fish-eye lens making his black with gold trim pirate hat bulge slightly. He has a moustache, beard and long hair with beads tied into it. His eyes are shaded with eye-liner and eye shadow and several tattoos are showing on his shoulders, arms and chest. His appearance is not dissimilar to Captain Jack Sparrow from The Pirates of the Caribbean films.
