May
The nostalgia of autumn runs deep: party nights are long gone and a chilly NZ winter
beckons. Thank goodness for the Comedy Festival. It's your last chance to explore Fi-
ordland and Southland in reasonable weather.
Bluff Oyster & Food Festival
Bluff and oysters go together like, well, like a bivalve. Truck down to the deep south for
some slippery, salty specimens (

)
. It's chilly down here in May,
but the live music and oyster eating/opening competitions warm everybody up.
New Zealand International Comedy Festival
This three-week laugh-fest (
www.comedyfestival.co.nz
) in May kicks off in the North Is-
land, but then hits the South Island with the on-the-road Comedy Convoy. International
gag-merchants (such as Arj Barker and Danny Bhoy) line up next to home-grown talent.
