The Comedy Store plays host to a one-off charity event in aid of Prospects, a Christian charity supporting adults with disabilities in the UK and abroad. Hosted by seasoned compere and master of mirth Geoff Whiting (3,500 stand-up gigs and counting), the night will be headlined by "professional northerner" Paul Tonkinson, a stand-up stalwart with a knack for targeting every region of Britain with his hilarious put-downs. Support comes from the lunacy of Mock The Week's Russell Howard ("he has a very entertaining way of saying nothing" - The Guardian), the foppish Tom Price ("expect big things" - Edinburgh Evening News), the chatty Angie McEvoy ("dry, wry and wonderfully cynical" - Chortle), consummate Scot - the self-proclaimed Ginger Jock - Brian Higgins ("daft but very funny" - The Guardian), reliable Aussie Ray Crawford ("he came, he winged, we laughed" - BBC) and the charismatic Matt Welcome ("one of the best comics you've never heard of" - Chortle). The prospects of you laughing at this show are pretty high.
