If you're here for a bit of a laugh, we have the perfect show just for you.

A bunch of New Zealand comedians have been specially handpicked to bring smiles to the Tauranga public next week.

The Best Comedy Festival Show on Earth started up last year, but this year will be touring around the North and South Island.

The line-up of comedians for the North Island shows will be Brendhan Lovegrove, Fan Brigade, Frickin Dangerous Bro, Melanie Bracewell, Brendon Green, and Eli Matthewson.

Travelling to 13 cities, they'll bring a smorgasbord of fast-paced comedy featuring six acts, hundreds of jokes and thousands of laughs.

Comedian Melanie Bracewell, 21, says this is the first time she has taken part in a road trip this big and is excited to join the other comedians on the tour.

'I'm excited to move around New Zealand, all of the trips that I've done have been lovely, and I'm just keen to check out everywhere.”

She says all the comedians on the tour are quite close as everyone knows everyone in the comedy community.

'I've done a couple of road trips before and it's just like a road trip with your friends, there's no real hostility at all in comedy, most people get along with everyone.

'Tauranga should expect a bunch of high quality comedians, I don't want to put myself on a pedestal – everyone else that I'm with is very excellent, so I can only assume that I'm not horrible.”

Melanie has shot to success in the comedy world after beginning her career as the 2014 winner of the 7 Days Comedy Apprentice competition and 2015 winner of the Raw Comedy Quest.

She says the comedy festival in Tauranga will be a fun night to have a few laughs and an opportunity to possibly meet the comedians afterwards.

'I'm sure we will see some of the locals post-gig, not every night, but I'm keen to. I haven't tabled the idea with any of the other acts yet, but I'll be keen to have a few beersies with the locals.”

This tour will happen in stages with the tour going to the top half of the North Island, the Lower North Island and then the South Island.

The Best Comedy Festival Show on Earth Tour will be making its way to Tauranga on Wednesday, September 1, at the Baycourt Community and Arts Centre from 7.30-9pm.
