Look out Adelaide! Here she comes

Comedy on the Rox's Kathryn Bendall is off to Adelaide in March with her first one-woman show Kath On A Hot Tin Roof. Directed by leading improv comic Rebecca De Unamuno, Kath On A Hot Tin Roof is the hilarious, poignant and ironic story of a suburban mother of three. Over 58 long hot summers, Kathryn has leapt from one hot tin roof to another, delerious most of the time and hanging on as long as she can. A very late bloomer on the comedy circuit, Kathryn draws on her life experiences including her sponsorship by an “Underbelly” crime figure into local government; an executive management career in a national financial institution while secreting her fear of flying, crossing bridges, snakes, toads and driving; and managing volunteers at Sydney 2000 Olympics, APEC and World Youth Day.Kathryn will stage her preview show at the Roxbury on Saturday February 21 at 6pm.

As we grow you help us grow Kiva- November 09- Sixty Seven Loans

 

Kiva - loans that change lives
In 2007 Comedy on the Rox became a KIVA lender, using money from our nights of laughter, joy and happiness to support others. To date the audiences at Comedy of the Rox have to helped to finance 67 loans to individuals around the world. Of these, 30  loans have been repaid in full. We decided to refinance other loans with these repayments.See more at  Kiva.org.
Kiva is a microfinancing organisation that enables individuals to give $25 loans to low-income entrepreneurs in the developing world. You've heard the story, "Give a person a fish and they eat for a day, give them a fishing rod and they eat for life"...

Why do we support Kiva?

It's your entertainment dollar that helps Kiva lend money to people to buy the proverbial fishing rod so that they can make a living, expand their small businesses, and repay the loan.
The money repaid is then loaned to another person in need, and in this way your gift keeps on giving.
Since November 2007, Comedy on the Rox has made loans many people around the world on your behalf.  You can read all their stories on our Kiva lender page, and find out how easy it is to make a difference in someone's life.
