US comedian Rob Schneider is returning to New Zealand to play a one-off show in Auckland this year.

The Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo star will perform at Auckland's SkyCity Theatre on Saturday, June 15.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, April 17.

The three-time Emmy Award winner is best known for his work with Adam Sandler, a partnership which began on US comedy show Saturday Night Live.

Following appearances in films such as Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, Grown Ups, The Hot Chick and The Animal, Schneider now appears in docu-series Real Rob, which screens on Netflix.

The show focuses on his "day-to-day hijinks" and is written, produced, directed and financed by Schneider himself.
