The Coming 2nd

The New Messiah Of Godzone is a self-made failure expert and she's here to take on orthodox religion, the patriarchy and colonisation in one go in this captivating, multifaceted musical comedy jewel!

Jaqi Taimana is an imperfection guru with an intergalactic failure story to tell well and sell even weller. It's time to come first for a change.

Taking up the comedy reins again after 21 years of solo-parenting twins, and 13 years of full-time early childhood teaching, Jaqi is now hosting packed-out shows in Raglan, Te Awamutu, Whakatane, Tauranga, Auckland and Hamilton. She was nominated for Best Producer in the 2023 NZ Comedy Guild Awards.

This highly engaging, hour-long banquet of clever, hilarious songs and lethal stand-up comedy takes a comical, feminist look at first-hand failure and coming second in a success-obsessed world.

You’ll want to bear witness to this miraculous spiritual event and be part of the making of a unique Kiwi legend, one piece of screwed-up A4 paper at a time!
