Tenterfield Shire Council Arts and Culture Officer Bahador Valadi said the comedy event was coming at a good time.
Mr Valadi said the people were struggling with the costs of living and what better way to lighten the load than to have a few laughs.
"Tenterfield is a bit isolated, it's great to have these kinds of shows around the region," he said.
Roadshows that came to regional areas were really important he said, as distance made it difficult for people to get to see live entertainment.
But events in the past had proven popular, with people coming from Lismore and Queensland to attend - so get in fast to get your tickets, Mr Valadi said.
Comedians Daniel Connell - MC, Blake Freeman, David Quirk, and Jennifer Wong will perform at Inverell and Glen Innes, and He Huang will replace Jennifer at Tenterfield.
The School of Arts bar starts serving alcohol at 6 pm in the foyer. Courtyard Café will be open for the entire evening.
Be warned, there will be a adult content, so not suitable for Under 15s.
