Saturday Laughs at the Royal Hotel brings top comedy talent to the heart of Featherston
This month's show features -
El Jaguar
Canadian comedy act El Jaguar is coming to wrestle his way into hilarity. From Canada, to New Zealand, and throughout Australia, El Jaguar is making a name for himself on the comedy scene using only his fast wits and tight lycra.
From the dusty streets of central America, rising triumphant as the luchador everyone wanted to be in the World Wrestling Federation circa 1990, then into obscurity: El Jaguar is making a comeback… and it’s going to be hilarious.
