Kiwis in LA

🎨🍷 The Kiwis in LA Art Show & Wine Tasting is back!

Save the Date: Saturday 24 October, 6:00pm to 10:00pm at Santa Monica Airport for an evening celebrating Kiwi art, wine, food and entertainment.

Right now we're calling artists to exhibit their work. Priority will be given to Kiwi artists and artists with strong connections to New Zealand, wherever they are in the world.

Our last show brought together nearly 1,000 Kiwis and Angelenos, and we're looking forward to making 2026 just as successful.

Interested in exhibiting? Email Keith Flamank at [email protected] by Friday 26 June.

• Wellington, dust off your jandals and warm up your flattened vowels - the Kiwi accent has just been crowned the sexiest in the world.

According to the World of Statistics, our glorious Aotearoa twang has strutted past the Irish lilt, Italian romance, French flair and even the Queen’s English - which limped in at No. 12, bless.

The Sexiest Accents of 2025:
1️⃣ New Zealand Kiwi
2️⃣ South African
3️⃣ Irish
4️⃣ Italian
5️⃣ Australian
6️⃣ Scottish
7️⃣ French
8️⃣ Spanish
9️⃣ South USA
🔟 Brazilian
11. Czech
12. Queen’s English
13. Canadian
14. Hungarian
15. Ukrainian

And if you’ve got a penchant for the capital’s grungy rockstar drawl, then congratulations Wellingtonians are the self-proclaimed the hottest talkers in the country - which, if tou do the maths, makes us pretty much the sexiest speakers in the world.

Sorry world, but facts are facts.

So next time someone mocks your “fush and chups,” remind them, sorry mate, this what irresistible sounds like.

We’re mixing things up for our next Kiwis in LA Meet Up — and this one’s all about having a laugh! Whether you’re a natural-born comedian, a storyteller with a funny yarn, a musician with a cheeky song, or just someone who loves a good giggle, this night’s for you.

Bring your best joke, funny story, or tune, or just come along to enjoy the laughs and support your fellow Kiwis. It’s all about community, creativity, and not taking ourselves too seriously.
