The annual Brian McCarthy Memorial Moosehead Awards Benefit is as old as the Comedy Festival itself and has been the must-see closing event since 1987. The benefit provides the financial impetus for the Moosehead Awards each year. The awards enable the continued recognition and support of new and innovative work annually, launching shows from acts like Sam Simmons, Sammy J & Randy, Asher Treleaven and Justin Hamilton. The benefit is the major source of funding for the trust. So not only do you get to see a cavalcade of top-notch comedians, but by buying a ticket you are also supporting new and innovative local comedy which ensures we will be laughing for years to come. Now in its 29th year, the Brian McCarthy Memorial Moosehead Award recipients for 2015 are David Quirk – Thrasher and Jonestown – Guinea Pigs. Both shows have been selected for their originality, bravery and humour. Each year, the benefit’s top secret lineup of the hottest local and international festival acts ensures it always sells out.
