Our Story
Comedy For A Cause was founded in January 2013 by Mat, who drew inspiration from his time as a volunteer events manager at the 40K Foundation from 2009–2010. During that time, Mat organised a comedy night that proved to be a huge success — sparking the idea that comedy could be a powerful tool for fundraising.
This epiphany led Mat to establish Comedy For A Cause with a mission to help Not-For-Profit organisations fundraise in a fun, efficient, and engaging way. As pioneers of comedy fundraising in Australia, we’ve spent over a decade perfecting our craft — and we’ve grown to become the country’s largest and most trusted comedy fundraising company.
🎤 Our Experience
With thousands of events under our belt, we’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of causes, including local and state governments. Our team understands what it takes to run a successful comedy fundraising event — and we’re committed to delivering outstanding results for our clients.
💰 Our Impact
To date, we’ve helped raise over $2,000,000 for Not-For-Profit organisations across Australia. We’re proud of the impact we’ve made — and we’re just getting started.
🌏 Our Expansion
We’re thrilled to now be operating on the North Island of New Zealand and in Southern California, bringing our unique brand of comedy fundraising to more communities than ever before.
