Crack up for a Cause

Playhouse Theatre

There’s only one thing better than a night of comedy and that is Comedy for a Cause! Join some of Dunedin’s leading and award-winning stand up comedians in a night of hilarity, magic and mayhem in support of our beloved Playhouse Theatre.

We are especially delighted to have the newly-anointed KSM recipient and Kiwi legend Jonathan Usher hosting the evening. His mischievous blend of humour and magic will not disappoint.

Jonathan is joined by local comedians Demelza Ray, Gerard Dougherty, Kelly Hocking, Molly Force, Reuben Crisp and Harriet Moir in the headline spot. All fantastic comedians and all donating their time and talent to the cause.

All proceeds go to the Playhouse Theatre, so kick off your year with a rollicking great night of comedy for a cause!

R18 - keep the kids at home for this one.
