Battle of WITs – Friday 7th August 2026

Wellington’s beloved community improv troupe is back with another Battle of WITs, a joyful comedy competition where three teams battle it out to be declared The Actual Best.

The very first WIT Battle was fought in 2003, now plucky new challengers have arisen to strive again for audience approbation. Be part of that audience and decide exactly who deserves to win the sparkly cup this time.

New Committee!




WIT’s AGM for 2026 was held last night, thank you to all who came along to Toi Aro for the meeting, and those who stayed to play in the excellently silly jam after.

To extremely summarize: WIT had a busy year with some venue challenges but carried on, providing regular training and performance opportunities for members and new improvisors, our finances are sound. A new committee was elected, with a mix of faithful old hands and shiny new ones. Serving WIT for 2026-2027 are

Co-ordinator – Shaila Mehta-Wilson
Secretary – Paddy Plunket
Creative Directors – Emma Ross, Lune Pendragon
Treasurer – Steven Davey
