Sammy J, Dave Callan and Geraldine Hickey are bringing their best lines to the Ballarat Mechanics' Institute this Friday night.
And it's all for a good cause with all profits on the night going directly towards not-for-profit organisation Big Brothers, Big Sisters.
The Big For Ballarat Comedy Night is celebrating the re-launch of the youth mentoring program which was brought back to the region in September last year.
"It's going to be a special night, but it's not just about comedy," MC Sammy J said.
"I wanted to put on a variety night."
Many of those who have been involved with the program over the years will be speaking on the night in what Sammy J is calling a night full of laughter and emotion.
"It's not only a great night of laughter, those coming are also supporting an incredible program," he said.
"People tuning out is directly impacting on the organisation."
The comedians will also be joined by local artists on the night, with Local Highlands LLEN VETIS Cluster secondary school students across Ballarat, Ararat and Bacchus Marsh also volunteering their time with lighting and sound on the night.
