Jeff Parsnips & Tom Knowles
After a huge 2025 touring All The Things I Wish I Could Be from its Wellington premiere to sell-out seasons in Taranaki, Tauranga and Nelson, Jeff Parsnips & Tom Knowles are thrilled to keep the momentum rolling into 2026. The show heads to Christchurch for the World Buskers Festival, Hamilton Arts Festival, and a special concert-style performance at next year’s CubaDupa in Wellington. Alongside this, we’re incredibly honoured to announce a return to Circa Theatre as part of their 50th anniversary programme with a brand new original music follow up show, But Why, Dad? Tickets and information are available online by searching the show names or via https://linktr.ee/tomknowlesmusic .
