Christmas Comedy for Charity
Events
It's the end of 2024 and we want to send it off in comedy style with a helping hand to a worthy cause.
Join Chris Parker, Justine Smith, Josh Thomson and Hayley Sproull for a stunning night of stand up comedy with every dollar of ticket sales going to MusicHelps, an organisation dedicated to providing emergency assistance to thousands of music people and other creatives experiencing hardship and illness.
The MusicHelps’ Grants programme provides financial or equipment assistance to organisations who use the power of music to provide comfort, joy, and healing to those in need. We support a wide variety of programs, helping people with dementia, end of life, and mental wellbeing issues, where music improves health outcomes and quality of life. In schools, prisons, hospices and community groups, our support of programs has helped to provide access to the positive benefits of music for those with disabilities or other challenges which may have prevented them from having the opportunity otherwise. MusicHelps has supported hundreds of projects and initiatives and directly helped more than 90,000 people throughout New Zealand.
MusicHelps has also established a Master of Music Therapy Award which offers one female identifying person studying Music Therapy at Victoria University (Wellington) a cash grant of $8,000.
MusicHelps’ “Backline” was established to help those in the New Zealand music and arts communities. The Wellbeing Service is a professionally staffed 24/7 online, on the phone and in person counselling service made available free of charge by MusicHelps. All enquires are 100% confidential and available to anyone involved in our music community to help you get through things and offer help and support. Our Benevolent Fund provides emergency financial assistance to music people experiencing hardship and illness and the “Legacy Programme” which offers free online wills to any New Zealander who makes a living from music.
Come and laugh your ass off with that warm, fuzzy feeling that you're helping our country's most vulnerable artists
