Good Grief is back: Two Years, Two Grieving Parents, One Big Night

Christie & Tyson Young lost their little boy Ziggy, in February 2024. They're still heartbroken, still figuring it out, and still absolutely convinced that laughter is the best medicine. Good Grief 2 celebrates what would have been Ziggy's second birthday because if you're going to cry, you may as well do it laughing.

Headlining this year is the outrageously funny Ben Knight , supported by an exceptional line-up of comedians.

Not many comedy shows start with a story about losing a child. But if you need a reason to laugh, a reason to feel something, or just a really good night out, this is it.

Tickets: $40 per person + booking fee | Table of 10: $350 + booking fees
BOOK NOW via standup.com.au
