Most Kiwis will know the name Mark Hadlow. 

The NZ Order of Merit recipient is best known internationally for his roles in King Kong and the Hobbit, but he has his fingers in many pies. 

In 2017, Hadlow had a one man show called MAMIL (Middle Aged Man in Lycra), exploring the male midlife crisis and the way many of them turn to road cycling. 

The show received rave reviews, touring the country for eight years.  

Seven years on, Hadlow has created a sequel – GOMIL, standing for Grumpy Old Man in Lycra, premiering in Christchurch in early 2025. 

He told Heather du Plessis-Allan that it was great being back in the saddle – literally.  

“The show opens with a big sequence, so it’s really interesting getting back on the Pinarello again,” he said. 

“Oh goodness me, that was fun.”
