Stand Up For Refugees 2025

Posted on December 5, 2024 by Tom

After two years of total sell-out shows at Max Watt’s to raise buckets of cash for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, co-hosts Wil Anderson & Tom Ballard are back to do it all again this Melbourne International Comedy Festival – and this time, they’re graduating to the big and fancy Comedy Theatre.

For one early-afternoon only, don’t miss this special line-up of A-grade comedy excellence, featuring the best comedians in the world donating their time and talents to support the ASRC’s vital work: providing material and legal assistance to people seeking asylum and refugees, and fighting back against Australia’s cruel immigration policies.

Most of the line-up will be kept super-secret until the day. Previous years have featured the likes of Anne Edmonds, Daniel Kitson, Sam Campbell, Geraldine Hickey, David O’Doherty, Guy Montgomery, Josh Thomas, Sam Pang and more – the only way to find who’s taking to the stage this time around is to grab yourself a ticket.

So come along and laugh good, feel good and do some good.
