Universally regarded as the ‘Event of All Comedy Events’, The Gala is the red carpet televised big gig that establishes all that comes after it in terms of The Comedy Festival. It is the night when egos are pushed aside and everyone respectfully dons their sharpest threads to witness Comedy superheros lending their jokes to help Oxfam fight poverty and injustice.
