When words fail, art speaks.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of laughter, storytelling, and solidarity as some of Aotearoa’s finest performers come together to raise their voices for Palestine.

Through performance, comedy, and music, we’ll celebrate humanity and hope — and take tangible action by supporting ReliefAid, who provide life-saving medical care in Gaza and beyond.

This special night unites artists from stage and screen in a powerful stand for compassion, connection, and collective change.
