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.

Support families like Albie's
“Albie was 18 months old when he was diagnosed with a cancerous, unclassifiable brain tumour. After months of treatment, the cancer overtook, and at just 2 and a half years old he died.
Albie’s short life was full of so many amazing memories. He was a thrill seeker, ice-lolly eating, wild toddler who always kept us laughing and on our toes! He had a cheeky look and even through treatment, everyone was in awe of his magical little energy.
He was only at Helen & Douglas house for a short period of time, but it made a huge and positive impact on his end-of-life care and allowed him to die with more dignity and more support for us than we could have ever hoped for.”
- Laurie, Albie’s Mum. Laurie will be sharing more of Albie's story at our Comedy Gala.
