Lots of laughs for a good cause

Comedians Billy Styles, Jarryd Goundrey and Kim Da Cruz’s decision to trade in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival stage for an around Australia ‘pub crawl’ landed them in Blighty on Saturday night.

The trio performed for a bumper crowd, and helped raise $5000 for Deniliquin Cupid’s Undie Run and the Royal Children’s Hospital.

Most was earned through ticket sales, with comedy lovers coming from Finley, Tocumwal, Deniliquin and the Blighty area for the charity night.

There was also a raffle, and another $1000 was raised thanks to the Deniliquin Truck Show Committee and its outgoing vice president John Creenaune, who parted with his hair and eyebrows for the impressive price tag.

On arrival, all guests were treated to a spit roast dinner, with meat donated by Blighty farmer Gilbert Bain.

The fee for the comedians was covered by the Blighty Hotel’s publicans so that all proceeds could go to the two charities.
