Stand Up for a Summit – A Stand-Up Comedy Fundraiser

A fun-filled night supporting an epic Everest 2026 expedition. 10 comedians, laughs, prizes and open mic. Come alone or bring some mates :)

Stand Up for a Summit is a stand-up comedy fundraiser bringing together a brilliant line-up of comedians for one very fun night with a powerful purpose — supporting Jen Willis in her goal to become the first Australian living with Multiple Sclerosis to stand on the summit of Mount Everest.

Headlining the night is Aarti Vincent — from striking yoga poses to striking comedy. This badass brown mum has been killing audiences across Australia with her sharp, observational humour. Aarti recently toured South East Asia with her show, performing in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Whether she’s bending minds or bending backwards, she delivers side-splitting comedy every single time.

Joining Aarti is a curated line-up of comedians from around Melbourne, featuring a mix of seasoned performers and newer voices, spanning a range of styles and comic perspectives. Together, they’re donating their time to support this fundraising event — and they promise a night full of laughs, energy and connection.

The night will finish with a 30-minute open mic, so if you’ve ever wanted to grab the mic and give it a go, this is your chance.

Expect laughter, fun, prizes, and the kind of night you walk away from smiling — all while supporting an extraordinary goal and helping challenge assumptions about what’s possible when living with MS.
