When there's a tragedy like the Christchurch terror attack, many of us wonder what exactly we can do to help the victims, their families and their communities. Comedian Nazeem Hussain has decided to do what he does best: put together a comedy show.
Hussain will host this benefit show as part of Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and he's called in some of his famously funny friends. The line-up includes Arj Barker, Urzila Carlson, Joel Creasey, Frida Deguise, Dave Hughes, Nazeem Hussain, Jimeoin, Tommy Little, Luke McGregor, Matt Okine, Celia Pacquola, Cal Wilson and Steph Tisdell.
Hussain said: “This line up came together miraculously quick. Comedians normally take 48 hours to respond to anything. They all texted back within 2 minutes! There’s clearly so much love to give from the comedy community.”
The proceeds from this show are going to the Christchurch Foundation's ‘Our People, Our City’ fund, which supports the families and Muslim communities impacted by the attack.
