Know Before You Go

Attendees should arrive early to allow time for venue entry procedures and to secure optimal seating. The Opera House Wellington is a world-class cultural venue in New Zealand's vibrant capital city. Please check the official venue website for current bag policies, age restrictions, and entry requirements. Most comedy venues require attendees to be at least 18 years old for certain shows due to content; verify age restrictions when booking. Mobile phones must typically be turned off during performances to ensure an uninterrupted experience for all guests.

Hot Tip

Arrive at least 30-45 minutes before showtime to navigate the venue, find your seat, and soak in the pre-show atmosphere. Daniel Sloss performances often sell out, so early arrival ensures a smooth entry and allows you to settle in comfortably before one of comedy's most engaging performers takes the stage.
