It’s actually been up in front of the school for the last few weeks like a yard sign during the American primary season, and Polly overhead a Year 7 who was looking it up and down. ‘Who the effs Tony Wilson?’, one of them asked, not unreasonably. ‘He’s my dad!’ she yelled from the tram stop, and that was the end of the interaction.
It really is such a fun and funny night. Five stellar comics will be bringing the house down, and last year we raised over $10,000.

(who you can follow on Substack at ) and has watched her special on Prime Video multiple times. Lizzy is the sister of an NHS staff member, so we had an inside run to booking one of Australia’s best comedians — a comedy festival favourite who hosted the Gala this year.The other comedians on the bill are the brilliant Sashi Perera, the only Australian comedian featured as ‘One to Watch’ at the UK 2021 Funny Women Awards, Have You Been Paying Attention regular Alex Ward and Janty Blair who won the Deadly Funny Grand Final 2022.
All funds raised will go to the Northcote High School Thrive fund.
Seating is either at tables of 10 or unreserved concert style seating available on the night.
The Theatre will have a limited menu from The Thornbury Taphouse available to order at the bar. All drinks must be bought onsite at The Thornbury Theatre. Drinks at bar prices.
Hope to see you there! Come and say hello. I’ll the one standing next to a 13 year old in a wheelchair wearing a fake moustache.
'Is my Mum supposed to be sneaking me in?'
