Mandy Nolan and Ellen Briggs make up Women Like Us, a national touring stand-up comedy show that believes in making a difference to women's lives, not just through laughter but in getting involved in local communities to raise spirits and encourage community engagement.

The girls have teamed up with Kelly Foran from Friendly Faces Helping Hands, a charity that gets people to hospitals all over Australia.
Friendly Faces received funding from the PNH for drought relief, and is working with Women Like Us to give the community in Tenterfield a big belly laugh.
The lucky hundred get a two-hour comedy show, an inspirational speaker, a meal and information about support services in the region.
Mandy and Ellen describe themselves as middle-aged mouthy mamas of mirth. They performed at the Adelaide Fringe Festival earlier this year to two sold-out shows and garnered two 5-star reviews from festival reviewers. They were officially declared 'goddesses' by the Weekend Notes Writer who asserted that "everything they say and do is the absolute word of sacred truth."
Glamadelaide declared the audience "barely had time to draw breath between the hearty laughs" and "it's not just women who love this hilarious crowdpleaser."
"We want our comedy to demystify a lot of the garbage that we're fed about being women." Ellen said.
"We tell everyday stories about our struggles, our failure to parent, the beauty industry, getting fatter, strange surgeries, obsessions, frustrations, and at the end of the day 'who unpacks the dishwasher'."
Doors open at 7pm with the show from 8pm. Tickets are free but registrations must be made online at womenlikeus.com.au.
