The Comedy Trust were thrilled to announce the return of its highly anticipated Comedy for Social Change event in 2024 — a bold and brilliant showcase using the power of laughter to tackle some of society’s most pressing issues.
Featuring a diverse lineup of comedians, academics, participants and changemakers, all using humour to challenge stereotypes, spark meaningful conversations, and advocate for a better world.
From witty observations on inequality to sharp takes on mental health, politics, and identity, Comedy for Social Change Symposium was more than just a night of entertainment — it was a call to action.
At The Comedy Trust, we believe that comedy has the power to break down barriers and bring people together. By using humour to explore sensitive topics, this event encouraged audiences to engage with difficult conversations in a relatable and accessible way.
“Laughter is a powerful force for empathy and change,” said Sam Avery, Director of The Comedy Trust. “Our goal is to use comedy not just to entertain, but to empower people to think differently and act compassionately.”
