Comedy Night Out

Comedy Night Out
Your guide to hosting a night of giggles
and fundraising for WaterAid
Hosting your
Comedy Night Out
Choose your date
Most people will be holding their
Comedy Night Out on World Toilet Day,
19 November, but you don’t have to
follow the crowd! Choose a date in
November that works best for you.
Contact a local venue
Get in touch with venues to ask if they
will support you to host a night of
fundraising comedy for WaterAid.
Book your comedians!
Research two or three performers and
a host MC - this is easiest through
an existing promoter - or consider
hosting an open mic comedy night!
Tell everybody!
Promote the event to your friends and colleagues, using our handy
poster template. Share the event over email and on your social media
channels using #itsnojoke, and remember to get your night listed in
local newspapers, magazines and blogs too!
Ask for money
Think about the best way to do this. Will it be a collection on the night? Will you charge at the door?
If you sell tickets in advance, there are ticket selling sites that make this easy. Remember to put a link to
your tickets on your promotional materials!
Just $25 can give children safe toilets at school.
For those who can’t make it on the night, you can set up an Everyday Hero
online supporter page so they can still support WaterAid and donate.

Hot Tip
Charging $20
makes managing
money on the door
much easier, as
there is less
change involved.
Share your night!
Tweet or share a picture of your Comedy
Night Out with @wateraidaus or
www.facebook.com/wateraidaustralia,
using #itsnojoke
Don’t forget to
send us the money!
Add up your funny money and
pay it in using your Everyday
Hero supporter page or our
downloadable pay it in form.
Remember to thank everyone –
from performers to attendees –
and tell them how much their
laughs have raised.
Loos are life savers! We all take
our toilets for granted, but 1 in
3 people around the world don’t
have access to one. Going to the
toilet outside is no joke – it can
spread diseases that kill a child
every minute. By holding a Comedy
Night Out you’re raising money to
change this.
Don’t have
the time
for the full
challenge?
Many comedy clubs
have charity nights –
so why not ask if you
can collect for WaterAid
at one in the lead up to
to World Toilet Day?
