Comedy Court once again brought cheer far and wide as they channelled part of the proceeds from their latest production, the 1Kind Show to Grace Community Services.
The non-profit charitable organisation cares for orphans, the elderly, destitute, homeless, and unwed mothers.
The all-new 1Kind Show, which ran for 15 performances at Auditorium Tan Sri Dato’ KR Soma in Wisma Tun Sambanthan, collected a total of RM74,000 for the charity.
Of this amount, the funds consisted of part proceeds from 13 performances and total proceeds of two special charity performances of the show.
Allan Perera, half of the Comedy Court duo said, “We make it a practice to tie-up with charities for our public performances as it is important to give back to society using the skills we have, in this case, raising funds by making people laugh.”
Indi Nadarajah, the other half of the comedic pair, added: “We were moved by Grace Community Services’ tireless outreach work, especially the centre’s ‘Foodbank’ which feeds close to 2,000 people a day, so we were inspired to raise funds in support of their cause.”
Rev. Dr Henry K. Pillai, founder of Grace Community Services, who accepted the donation, said: “We are touched by the support shown by Allan and Indi for our work and for their contribution.
“They are special people, who warm the hearts of audiences with laughter and help bring hope to the marginalised with their constant support of charity.”
