2019-05-16 20:00 - 2019-05-17 01:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | The Foundry, 90 Ilam Road, Christchurch, Canterbury, 8041, New Zealand
MONO Nights are our weekly gig nights, hosted in the Foundry every Thursday during term time.
Free for UC students (hell, it is their bar ffs) and with a minimal door charge for their mates – which goes straight into our giant profit making machine…
Jokes – it pays for some of the best local and international acts that we can afford and convince to stop off on a Thursday night. Last year’s artists can be seen  and the most up to date info on who is playing next can be found at the @MONOnights facebook page.
Bring your proof of age ID and UC Student card to skip the door fee – no card means no freebies. UC Security is open pretty much 24/7 so if you lost it, go get another one you cheapskate.

MONO: Storm Chasers
2019-05-09 20:00 - 2019-05-10 01:00 | The Foundry, 90 Ilam Road, Christchurch, Canterbury, 8041, New Zealand
This one is gonna be a bit of a roller-coaster….
Stormchasers are the greatest cover band in the world. Featuring members of Openside, LA Women and The Leers, armed with a high alcohol toxicity level and some absolutely terrible songs, Stormchasers are the one MONO this year that you should avoid.
Hollywoo DJs are also terrible. They’ve had the honour of closing out Rhythm and Vines for the last two years and they’ve squandered away any good opportunity they’ve been presented. Catch them on George every Saturday night when they remember to show up.
Art Heist. – new solo project from Auckland based producer & DJ Chris Scott. After establishing himself on an international level behind the scenes of various pop, rap and electronic acts; in 2018 Chris is developing as a singular zeitgeist-swallowing hyphenate. Crossing genres and bringing together unlikely influences – Art Heist remixes of Openside’s ‘Character Flaws’ and Foley’s ‘Talk About It’

DramaSoc - Quiche and Whiskey: An Night if One Acts
2019-03-27 19:30 - 22:00 | Jack Mann Auditorim, Solway Ave, Ilam, Christchurch, 8041, New Zealand
Show dates: 27-30th March, 3-6th April. Start time is 7:30 each night & runs for 2 & 1/2 hours each night. Please make sure that the tickets are nonrefundable.
DESCRIPTION BELOW
DramaSoc is proud to present its first major show of the year ‘Quiche and Whiskey: A Night of One Acts’. This delightful evening of comedy features two off-Broadway shows: 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche, by Evan Linder and Andrew Hobgood, as well as The Irish Curse, by Martin Casella.
5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche is an interactive absurdist comedy. The year is 1956, and the Sisters of the Susan B. Anthony Society of for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein are eagerly anticipating their annual quiche breakfast. But when the communists invade America these daring women realise they may be the last humans alive in America. This show will leave you in tears of both joy and sadness and invites the audience into the wondrously silly world of a 50s high class ladies’ society.
The Irish Curse brings the audience into this wonderful modern comedy with one central premise, ‘how do I measure up to the next guy?’ It centers on a support group for men who struggle with their “Irish Curse”: that is, being less than average in the groin department. The stories each of the men tell are stunningly graphic, as well as heartfelt and touching, insight into the male psychology. It attempts to answer the question, once and for all, “does size really matter?”
Quiche and Whiskey is performed by 10 very talented actors over 8 nights in the Jack Mann Auditorium
