June 7, 2019 9:02

Eighteen Mumbrella readers took the Sydney Opera House by storm on Monday night, performing stand-up comedy in front of more than 300 industry peers to raise money for youth mental health charity batyr.

Pitch2Punchline, organised by Shambles Communications founder Gareth Eden-Styche, saw the brave 18 put through a six-week mentoring program led by TV comedian and presenter Cam Knight.
