Wade Jackson is an improv comedian and performance coach, and the founder of the Covert Theatre, the country's only improv theatre which is tucked away off Ponsonby Road in Auckland city.

In an effort to curb the country's loneliness epidemic and rekindle human connection, Wade has launched The Social Club, a free comedy show that’s running every Friday until Christmas.
