The Helen & Douglas House Charity Comedy Gala returns for a third year in 2027!
Helen & Douglas House is back with another star-studded evening of comedy, hosted by Matt Richardson and friends. This one-night-only event brings together a stellar lineup of the country’s finest comedians, all performing for a fantastic cause.
With proceeds going to support local children with life-limiting illnesses, you can enjoy an unforgettably hilarious evening while making a difference in your community.
Join us on Monday, 15th March at the New Theatre Oxford.

Meet your host, Matt Richardson!
