Rob Schneider at Opera House

Emmy-nominated actor and Saturday Night Live alumni Rob Schneider visits New Zealand for the first time with his hilarious new stand up comedy show.

Schneider began writing jokes as a teenager, appearing at local venues. After opening for comedians such as Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld, he made his major network television debut in 1987 on “The David Letterman Show”. In 1990 Lorne Michaels saw Schneider’s appearance on HBO’s “13th Annual Young Comedians Special” and hired him to be a regular on “Saturday Night Live”. During his four seasons at “SNL”, Schneider was nominated for three Emmys and a Peabody Award.

Well known for his trademark blend of character and comedic acting, Schneider has starred in several of Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison projects, including “Grown Ups”, “Bedtime Stories”, “You Don’t Mess With The Zohan”, “The Benchwarmers”, “50 First Dates”, “The Longest Yard”, “Eight Crazy Nights” “Little Nicky” and “Mr. Deeds.” Also for Happy Madison, Schneider co-wrote and starred in “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo”, “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo”, “The Hot Chick” and “The Animal”. Other film credits include “Shark Bait”, “The Waterboy” and “Big Daddy.”
