We’re so very excited, and we hope you are too! I predict one of the funnier moments for me will be trying to stay awake past 9pm!
From left to right: Nat, creased Chelsea, Danni
Here’s a pic of our new poster, posted in all it’s poster glory. I couldn’t make it to the photoshoot (I’m very busy and famous). If I keep forgetting sunscreen in this brutal Kiwi sun, I’ll have creases in my face for reals.
There it is. The poster for our show! Isn’t it lovely? The minty green complements Danni’s eye deformity quite nicely don’t you think? Big ups to our designer, Jem Yoshioka!
On to the important stuff. This poster represents a comedy show, a comedy show you are personally (and unpersonally) and cordially (and uncordially) invited to! The details, conveniently enough, are on that-there poster (hint: if you click on the image it gets BIGGER!). So have a look, and start saving your ten cent coins!
You can even book in advance through Ticketek if you’re into that sort of thing (kinky!).
The show promises you the following: a pirate, pancakes (not to be consumed), references to liposuction, duvets, and rainbows.
After our Fringe Festival show, we were left with heaps of money and inflated egos. So we did what any Orange County housewife would do: we got facelifts!
I woke up on Sunday morning in a state of panic. There’s so much to do! We have a show to perform! And why am I wearing a gorilla suit!?
Then it hit me. Our show is over.
All those weeks and months of hard work, and finito. It’s over. Just like that.
I didn’t know what to do with myself, so I asked the Oracle (Oracle = Facebook). The answer was clear and came straight from the manicured nails of none other than Sarah Harpur (the yellow half of The Comediettes): Plan the next show!
Oh right, we’re doing a show for the Comedy Festival in May (6-8 May to be exact, at the Ivy Lounge, at 10pm. Ahem).
I woke up this morning in a state of panic. There’s so much to do! We have a show to perform! And why am I wearing a gorilla suit!?
Chelsea here! A quick blog to say GUESS WHAT!? We got a review! A GOOD review! We can’t believe it!
Here’s my favourite part of the review:
“Laugh Experiences is a show about the humour in every day life, sometimes taken to the absurd extreme. I love this kind of humour best, and these performers handle it very well. Their different styles dance together effortlessly.” — Theatreview
My least favourite part:
“Chelsea is from Texas … At 30, she is the oldest of the trio.”
It’s interesting to think that the truth about our lives is enough to make people laugh. So this is what it’s like to be laughed at and laughed with all at the same time. Bring it on!
Two chances left, tonight and tomorrow night. 7pm, Fringe Bar. Book by emailing fringebar.nz@gmail.com

When Danni, Nat and I decided to form a comedy trio, we very quickly realised that we needed a name! We really wanted to just pick some random symbols out of the wingdings font instead of keeping it old skool (Roman alphabet), but then we thought WWPD? (P for Prince). And since we let Prince make all of our decisions in life, we decided to start out with a “normal” name then change it to a symbol later once we were Jehovah’s Witnesses.
After many seconds of discussion, we chose The Third Wheel. Nat suggested the name because she felt, well, like the Third Wheel. She felt like an outsider because Danni and I both have brown hair and glasses: two things that would make anyone who doesn’t have those things feel like a total loser.
But the name didn’t quite gel. One of our very first sketches, “Can I help you?”, included the phrase “little moustache”. In the sketch, a French Shopkeeper (Danni) tries to help a customer (Nat) but ends up insulting the crap out of her instead. At one point, she asks the customer if she needs some facial wax for her “little moustache” (the titular line!).
We believe Little Moustache is a name that appeals to everyone, because whether you’re an unshaven man or an unfortunate woman, little moustaches are a universal experience. And we want our comedy to be a universal experience.
Note: it’s not The Little Moustache because that would suggest there is only ever one little moustache, and we all know there are many more than that out there in the universe. Many more.
Check out the sketch, “Can I help you?”. Skip to 2:25 if you’re too lazy to watch the entire thing.
Welcome to our first ever website, ever, in the history of the universe. Allow us to introduce ourselves. We’re Little Moustache, a trio of lady laugh-makers: Chelsea Hughes, Danni Taylor and Nat Britten. For a while we called ourselves The Third Wheel, but that was a rubbish name. So here we are. We hope you have fun on our little site. If you don’t, Nat will cry. She’s like that.
Little Moustache presents Laugh Experiences as part of the 2010 New Zealand International Comedy Festival! Come and see us. Read more in the Live Shows section.
