Feminists are Funny 2025

Our glitziest, glammest day of the year is back! Join us for a night of comedy to raise funds for Auckland Women's Centre

Our fabulous Michèle A’Court (ONZM) will host a dream team of comedians to keep you laughing the whole evening long. Get planning your table of friends and come along on Sunday 15 June to support our biggest fundraiser of the year at the Classic Comedy Club. Stay tuned for the full line up of comedians…

Our theme this year is RAINBOWS – a show of LGBTQI+ pride and solidarity, a reminder that rain doesn’t last forever (even rain made acid by leaders who should know better) – and a chance to brighten up our winter wearing some colour for each other!

Wear one hue from head to toe; colour block with style, or swirl the entire rainbow around your person.

🌈 There will be dress-up prizes!
🌈 We have a wonderful list of items for sale in our silent auction donated by organisations across Tāmaki Makaurau!
🌈 Snap pics in the Pixel Photo Booth – get there early to get your group shots!
🌈 Ticket price includes nibbles.

Ticket prices:

Table for 2: $170
Table for 4: $340
Table for 6: $510
Table for 10: $850

Book your tickets through Humanitix
