Laughter is the balm for nearly everything and thanks to The Comic’s Lounge some of Australia’s top names in comedy will be performing this Sunday to raise funds for children affected by the bushfires.

Teaming up with Variety, the children’s charity, and The Shane Warne Foundation, the aim is to raise $50,000.

With headline talent like Jimeoin, Dave Hughes, Tom Gleeson, Marty Fields and Hang Le, as well as plenty of others who are likely to turn up on the night, the laughs will be on tap.

It’s an excellent opportunity to lend your support – enjoying a prime pick of comics and donating to help the many children left in dire straits after the bushfires.

There are still a few tickets left, so be quick! Sunday 22 February, 4pm ’til late, $50 per ticket.

Contact the venue and pay with credit card over the phone, then pick-up your tickets at the door.

The Comic’s Lounge, Errol St, North Melbourne. For tickets and further information, call (03) 9348 9488.
