HBAF 2023 - Wilson Dixon: Put the Gun Down, Jethro

Loved by audiences the world over and with a host of comedy awards under his good ol’ western belt, Wilson Dixon, lover of love, singer of music, and rider of horses returns to NZ with his latest tour.

Dixon is known to many as the greatest country singer Cripple Creek, Colorado has ever produced, as well as the only country singer Cripple Creek has ever produced. Whichever way you look at it, it’s a pretty good achievement. Life of late has been fun* for Wilson, navigating his way through the virus-denying, QAnon-believing, alt-right leaning members of his own family.

Join Wilson as he performs his brand-new show with brand new-songs and stories about his unfortunately not brand-new extended family.

(*Use of the word ‘fun’ in the above context is heavily nuanced.)
