The Byron Comedy Festival starts Thursday.

For many affected by the autumn floods, having a day out hasn’t been high on the list of priorities, but a local collaboration will see one hundred free tickets given away for the Byron Comedy Festival on Sunday.

The Vasudhara Wild Women Foundation and Dumbo Feather have come together with the Byron Comedy Festival to give 100 people an afternoon of laughter and good community vibes on Sunday.

If you are a flood-affected person, available Sunday 12 from 2.30pm and a lover of comedy, please apply via FB messenger, including your details and a brief description of your circumstances.
