Video: Comedian James Acaster gives Metro a tour of the Sky Tower

Apr 21, 2016 Theatre

New Zealand comedian Nic Sampson has lived in Auckland for 10 years, and in that time learned almost nothing about it. Thankfully, the NZ International Comedy Festival is upon us and some kindly visiting comedians have offered to help Nic out by giving him a tour of some of its most iconic places. We begin with Auckland’s Sky Tower, or as James Acaster correctly calls it, “The Spike”.
