LAUGHING MATTERS: National Homeless Week August 4-10.
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nationally lauded and universally loved, Akmal heads the bill for Agape’s Laughing Matters Fundraiser, proving it’s possible to laugh your socks off for a good cause! As part of National Homeless Week (4-10th August), Agape Outreach is bringing the community together for an evening of comedy, compassion and connection.
Every night in Australia more than 122,000 people don’t have a safe place to call home. Almost a quarter are children or young people under the age of 24. Northern NSW has the longest median wait times for social housing in the state – exceeding 5 years. South East QLD has been labelled the homelessness capital of Australia with a 22% increase in homelessness over 5 years – nearly triple the national average.
This August, let’s turn laughter into lasting change – in the fight to end homelessness in our local community.
Join us on Wednesday 6th August at 7:30 PM at Club Tweed for a hilarious night of stand up comedy hosted by none other than local legend Mandy Nolan. Known for her razor sharp wit and a heart of gold, Mandy will be joined by two of Australia’s finest comedic talents – the other half of Women Like Us, natural born storyteller, mother of twins and now keen golfer, Ellen Briggs and Egyptian-Australian comedian Akmal, master of dealing with difficult subjects with a genius universality. The comedians are all donating their time to the cause because they believe everyone deserves a home.
All proceeds from the night will go directly towards supporting Agape Outreach’s work in the local community – serving the homeless and the needy – providing meals, outreach support and vital services to those who need it most.
WHAT: Comedy Night during National Homelessness Week.
