- About this event
Forget everything you know about traditional book clubs. There’s no polite discussion over tea and biscuits here. Instead, books go head-to-head in a hilarious literary showdown where only one can emerge victorious! Book (Fight) Club returns with a festive twist, bringing together eight randomly selected books for a no-holds-barred battle of literary supremacy. Expect spirited debate, outrageous arguments, plenty of laughs and a healthy dose of Christmas chaos as the contenders fight for the ultimate honour of being crowned champion. Hosted by El Jaguar, this wonderfully unconventional celebration of books combines comedy, theatrical antics and literary rivalry. Whether you're a devoted reader or simply enjoy a good laugh, this is one book club where you won't need to worry about finishing the reading beforehand. Having previously entertained audiences at the WORD Christchurch Festival, Book (Fight) Club has earned enthusiastic reviews for its delightfully chaotic approach to literature. Theatreview praised the show's irresistible humour, while ARTFM Taranaki suggested that book clubs would be far more popular if they were all this entertaining. Part of Festive Fun, The Arts Centre's seasonal programme of entertainment and activities, this holiday edition takes place at The Gym in Christchurch's historic Arts Centre, promising a merry evening of books behaving badly. Which book will survive the literary battlefield? There's only one way to find out!
