Hi There,
Star Photographers were very lucky to photograph "A Wild Night with Bear Grylls - Live Show" and also got to meet Bear at the VIP Meet & Greet cocktail party before the show started at 7pm, CBS Arena, Christchurch.
The VIP tickets included: Getting to meet Bear and having a photo taken with him, a signed Bear Grylls Book, a lovely meal and refreshments.
The show was amazing, entertaining and funny hosted by our very own Fight of the Concord funny man Rhys Darby.
Bear Grylls entered the stage by dropping down from the ceiling via a large power cable from the lighting rig above.
Rhys Darby and Bear Grylls
chatted casually about his life story, world record attemps, T.V Show
{Man vs Wild} and personal goals illustrated with slide-shows of his
achievements and personal interviews by his friends and family.
It was an honest and down to earth Bear that had the audience glued to their seats, telling tales of danger and adventure.
It was especially fun for the kids with Bear inviting some lucky hopefuls up on stage to taste stange wild bugs and getting to ask him their personal questions.
The finale was exciting with Bear
inviting the whole Halswel Scout troop up on stage and saying good
bye, setting off a resuce flare and using a rope ladder exiting the
stage via the lighting rig again with Rhys Darby doing his best helicoper special effect using the microphone.
It was a truly wonderful and inspirational evening!! + a real bonus to get to photograph and meet Bear Grylls
