The merch is available from The Print Room’s website, as part of the Dunedin screen printing and embroidery business’s ‘Keep A Good Thing Going’ campaign.
You can buy tees, hoodies, socks and tote bags, all designed by the Comedy Festival’s production manager George Wallace.
This merchandise is normally only available to the comedians in the festival.

The Print Room has provided a platform for businesses, charities and creatives that have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic to raise money by selling products.
Co-owner Jon Thom told MiNDFOOD that in addition to raising funds, ‘Keep A Good Thing Going’ keeps those in need front of mind, with people who buy and wear the merchandise helping to promote the brand or cause.
“They get to be walking billboards, or conversation starters, or brand ambassadors,” he said.
The Print Room fundraiser is in addition to a Givealittle campaign to provide financial relief to the more than 150 local NZ International Comedy Festival artists.
The fundraiser closes at midnight tonight, and money raised will go towards local Comedy Fest comedians for costs they had already invested in their festival shows before the event was cancelled.
