With over $2,000,000 raised and experience spanning hundreds of events, Comedy For A Cause is an international leader in comedy fundraising.
Essentially, we run stand up comedy shows featuring some of the best comedians from Sydney and Melbourne International Comedy Festival to raise funds for various causes. We provide everything for you – comedians, ticketing, lighting, sound, marketing materials, event management and expert advice (we let your ‘Cause’ in on how the best organisations fundraise). All the ‘Cause’ has to do is book a venue and sell the tickets, which with our exceptional line-ups and marketing advice, is a breeze.
Our shows generally feature a top-notch emcee, 2 support acts and an internationally touring headliner. Run time is approximately 2 hours, with a 15-20 minute intermission, during which raffle/auction items can be sold. The shows can be Adults Only or All Ages and 100% appropriate for students and children. Tickets are generally sold for $30-$35 of which we charge small portion (there is no upfront cost). We can also assist your ‘Cause’ in raising thousands in additional funds on the night, through things like raffles and auctions.
We work with schools, clubs, charities, individuals and community groups across Australia to maximise returns and minimise the effort. Our shows almost always raise thousands of dollars, no matter the size, location or the demographics of the Cause! These events are always an enormous success and appeal to a much broader audience than your typical dry and weary fundraisers like trivia nights.
(Please keep in mind, all of the details described here are flexible and can be tailored to meet your individual needs).
