EVENT INFORMATION
Comedy’s biggest names take to the stage to support Oxfam Australia!
For more than 30 years, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival has partnered with Oxfam Australia to present The Gala – the most anticipated night of the comedy calendar. Expect a stellar line-up of more than 20 of the biggest names in Australian comedy donating their best five minutes of material in exchange for the generosity of the audience and the viewers tuning in at home.
More than a great night out, it’s a chance to do some good. Help Oxfam Australia fight inequality to end poverty, one big laugh at a time.
There’s little wonder tickets always sell fast. Get them while you can – and get that warm, fuzzy feeling only The Gala can give.
