Warkworth and surrounds, mark your calendars: on Saturday 4 October, our much-loved Great Comedy Debate returns to the Warkworth Town Hall for an evening you won’t want to miss.

After 16 years of raising spirits, laughs, and vital funds for Harbour Hospice, this year promises to deliver more of what makes the event a highlight of the calendar. https://humanitix.com/nz

This isn’t a political debate. It’s pure entertainment: two rounds of witty sparring, humour, theatrical flair, and surprise twists. Teams from Warkworth Toastmasters go head-to-head with invitation teams (Lions, local celebrities, guest panels), each debating absurd, hilarious motions. Expect sharp comebacks, tongue-in-cheek arguments, and belly laughs. This is Warkworth at its best.
