There’s nothing that a good laugh can’t fix!

In a nutshell, the true aim of comedy shows is to make people laugh with their lighthearted and enjoyable antics. However, comedy can also empower and educate while it entertains you – which is exactly what the 1865 Comedy Festival is all about! Presented by Funny Hunnyz, this week-long comedy festival will make your stomach hurt with all the chuckles you will get!
