A night of top-tier comedy while raising funds for vital local causes.
Comedy for a Cause announces line-up for March fundraiser in Gosford
The Rotary Club of Gosford City has announced that Comedy for a Cause will return Friday, 13 March 2026, delivering a night of top-tier comedy while raising funds for vital local causes.
Taking place at Central Coast Leagues Club, the popular annual fundraiser brings together the Central Coast community for a shared night of laughter, connection and generosity.
The 2026 comedy line-up features Cam Knight, Fiona Cox, Chris Radburn and Bruce Griffiths, four highly experienced Australian stand-up comedians known for their strong live performances and broad audience appeal.
Cam Knight is one of Australia’s most respected stand-up comedians, recognised for his sharp writing and intelligent, high-energy performances. A regular at major comedy festivals around the country, Knight has received widespread critical acclaim, including a ★★★★★ review from The Advertiser.
Fiona Cox is a celebrated comedian, writer and actor whose bold, fearless comedy has made her a standout on the Australian comedy circuit. Known for her sharp observations and compelling storytelling, she has performed extensively at festivals and venues nationwide.
Chris Radburn brings warmth, wit and polished delivery to the stage, with a career spanning stand-up comedy, television and live events across Australia.
Bruce Griffiths is a highly regarded stand-up comedian and MC, with decades of experience performing at comedy clubs, festivals and corporate events.
Rotary Club of Gosford City President, Michael McQuade said the event continues to grow in both popularity and impact.
“Comedy for a Cause has become one of those events people genuinely look forward to,” Mr McQuade said. “You get a brilliant night of entertainment, and at the same time you’re directly supporting people in our community who need it most.”
Proceeds from the event will support a number of Rotary projects, with SafeLink Alliance confirmed as the lead charity partner for 2026. SafeLink Alliance is a Central Coast-based organisation working to relieve poverty, distress and disadvantage by creating welcoming spaces of care, connection and dignity.
Guests can also upgrade their experience with a VIP Dinner + Show, starting with an exclusive pre-event party @ At Baker Street. The VIP experience is designed as a relaxed networking opportunity for local businesses, sponsors and community leaders, featuring outstanding cuisine before premium seating at the comedy show.
The Rotary Club has thanked Morgans Financial Erina for coming on board as an event supporter, recognising their early commitment to backing community initiatives on the Coast.
Mr McQuade said supporting local events plays a bigger role in the region’s future.
“Gosford is emerging as a real events destination, and when the community gets behind events like this, it helps create momentum for even more great experiences on the Central Coast.”
Comedy for a Cause is open to over 18’s and is expected to sell strongly, with previous events selling out.
