Ever wondered what TGA looks like behind the scenes?

Lots of laughter, plenty of colour, a series of amazing people, and a whole lot of gorgeous camera equipment.

Are there any you agree with?

AROHA-HA was an absolute hoot! 🤣

Selling out our first-ever comedy show at Kōanga Festival was pretty epic. Dame Jthan kicked off the evening with a bang 💥 and stayed serving laughs all night long, while the star-studded line-up curated by Janaye Henry had the crowd in stitches from start to finish! 👏🏽

We hope we did you proud with this one, our mate Aroha Awarau 💛

Whatta you think e te whānau?! Should we convince our Festival Director to bring AROHA-HA back for 2027? 👀🤩🙂‍↕️
