A night of comedy and music comes to the New Wimbledon Theatre on October 23 in aid of cancer

The star-studded line-up, hosted by Robin Ince includes names such as Billy Bragg, Charlotte Church, Robin Ince, Josie Long, and James Acaster.

All proceeds from the event will go to fellow comedian Barry Crimmins and his wife Helen who was diagnosed with cancer.

The event will also raise cash for children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent.

The benefit event which was set up after Barry Crimmins who rallied fellow comedians for support.

Billy Bragg said: “Barry Crimmins uses his humour as an activist artist should to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

“He’s done loads of gigs supporting those in need. Now it’s our turn to support him in his hour of need.”

Last year CLIC Sargent supported 561 families in London giving grants worth over £81,000 to help families deal with the financial difficulties pose by cancer.

Charlie Straker, Fundraising Engagement Manager said: “Everyone at CLIC Sargent is very excited for this event which will be a very special night with an amazing line-up.

“We rely entirely on donations to fund our vital work and so we can’t thank Robin Ince and all the other celebrities for their fantastic efforts.

“Thanks to them and everyone who buys tickets, we will be able to help even more children and young people thrive not just survive after their cancer diagnosis.”

Tickets start from £17.90.
