Good cause. Great night. Hilarious fundraising laughs with some of NZ's best comedians. Each year an all-star line-up donate a Sunday night set for SpinningTop, prompting the comics to throw out the script and ‘go rogue’ at these 2-hour showcase events.
WELLINGTON - SUN 9 MAY
Yes, it's back! The 14th Good Guys comedy extravaganza at the ever-wonderful San Fran on Cuba St. Proceeds from previous shows have built schools in the jungles of Burma and supported kids living in extreme poverty on the Thai/Burma border and Rohingya refugee camps – amazing what your laughs can achieve. Comedy. Generosity. Two thumbs up! Get your tickets HERE
Who does the fundraising benefit?
Since 2006, a stunning line up of comedians have donated their awesomeness at this gala event, to support at-risk migrant children from Burma and Thailand. Thanks to the comedians and generous sponsors, proceeds from these shows go directly to SpinningTop projects. Previous shows have helped fund long-lasting education projects including the construction of two schools in the jungles of Burma; sustainable agriculture gardens to feed hundreds of kids in boarding houses; setting up an alternative education centre for kids who are vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking on the busy Thai/Burma border; and building a safe school for Rohingya refugee children on the Bangladesh/Myanmar border – amazing what your laughs can achieve!
As Michele A'Court says: “Really? Us? Jokes made that?! It's hard to get my head around, but it makes me very, very happy!"
