St Hilda's Comedy Night - Fundraiser

About this event

We all need a bit of a laugh! On Thursday, 29th October we will be treated to an evening of connection and full belly laughs, to raise funds for the final stages of our Science Lab development – which is nearing completion. Award-winning comedian, Harriet Moir will MC the night, bringing to us local comedy acts Nicola Brown, Kelly Hocking and Reuben Crisp who are sure to split our sides! As part of our fundraising there will be a live auction and raffles to purchase on the night. A cash bar will be running throughout the evening, serving a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Ticket price includes food and entertainment. Please join us for a hilarious evening to be remembered. A special thank you to our Gold Sponsors of the event: Warnock Architecture, Kitchens for Less and Fresh Choice Green Island.
