Blake and Capper will be travelling from Victoria to Tenterfield, stopping at various locations throughout the journey, with part of the proceeds from each show going towards charity Are You Bogged Mate?
Are You Bogged Mate? is a charity, founded by a good friend of Blake's, Mary O'Brien, which focuses on helping country blokes talk about mental health and suicide while spreading awareness about depression in the bush.
"There's gonna be five of us on stage, myself, Nick, Mud and Dust Entertainment and another guy called Aiden Jones. It's gonna be a great time," Blake said.
"Hopefully Dubbo can get around it and buy some tickets."
Blake and Capper will also be filming their trip to Tenterfield for their comedy and motorbike podcast, Flat Stick, to help contribute to the funding for the charity through a GoFundMe Page while raising awareness for country men's mental health.
Blake said they are hoping to raise $2,000 for Are You Bogged Mate?
"O'Brien is an independent lady who does a lot of the heavy lifting herself, she's not a big charity, she's just one person with a mission so we want to try and raise $2,000 for her," he said.
You can contribute to the donations at https://gofund.me/07b0bb5a.
The comedy show will be held at the Commercial Hotel on Tuesday, May 11.
