Nazeem Hussain, Arj Barker & More Announced For Stand Up For Christchurch Benefit Gig

Nazeem Hussain has today announced the Stand Up For Christchurch benefit gig, a comedy event to raise money for The Christchurch Foundation. 

Proceeds from the benefit will "honour and raise vital funds for the victims and families who were tragically affected by the Christchurch attack on 15 March."

Hussain - who in addition to organising, will also MC the event - will be joined by Arj Barker, Urzila Carlson, Joel Creasey, Frida Deguise, Dave Hughes, Jimeoin, Tommy Little, Luke McGregor, Matt Okine, Celia Pacquola, Cal Wilson and Steph Tisdell and more at the Melbourne Town Hall event on Saturday 13 April. 

“This line up came together miraculously quick," shares Hussain. "Comedians normally take 48 hours to respond to anything. They all texted back within two minutes! There’s clearly so much love to give from the comedy community."

"We’re honoured to be given the opportunity to support Nazeem in producing this very important show, alongside The Melbourne International Comedy Festival," adds Live Nation's CEO Roger Field. "Naz is an inspirational talent who has been able to engage the community to unite for a very special show in support of Christchurch.”

Tickets for the event are on sale now, head to theGuide for more info.
