40 Dad Jokes in 40 Hours

This year, I'm taking on the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge with 40 dad jokes in 40 hours. 

That’s right—I'm risking groans, eye-rolls, and maybe even a few pity laughs, all in the name of a great cause. But there’s a serious reason behind the silliness: children in the Solomon Islands are facing the impacts of climate change, and they need our help. 

So while I’ll be dishing out puns that are so bad they’re good, I’ll also be raising vital funds to support communities building a safer, more sustainable future. I’ll be filming people’s reactions too. Because nothing says "helping the planet" like a perfectly timed pun and a bewildered friend.

Donate generously, and prepare for 40 hours of second-hand embarrassment for a first-class cause.

Hey gang,

My billboard idea didn't pan out for this year, so I'm tabling that for next year. I've pivoted to 40 dad jokes in 40 hours. Stay tuned for more! And please flick me a donation while you're here :)

Thank you for your support!

40 Hours ON a billboard?

Monday 26th May
For this year's World Vision 40 Hour Challenge, my goal is to spend 40 hours ON a billboard. Yep, I will attempt to live up there, on the billboard for the entire weekend (with toilet breaks of course!). 

I am currently working hard (with some help from my friends) to secure a billboard site, so this is all TBC, but this is my dream, and I want to put it out into the world. 

In the meantime, I need sponsors - please feel free to drop a donation my way to help kids in the Solomon Islands! Thanks for getting behind a great cause! 

Thank you to my Sponsors
