Get Comedy 2008
Over 200 of Get Connected's supporters joined us on Monday 13th October to watch and listen to some brilliant stand-up comedy and raise funds for the future.
Award-winning British comedy hero Richard Herring compered a night at famed venue The Comedy Store, in Central London. Fresh back from Edinburgh and bursting with new material, comedy greats Jo Caulfield, Paul Sinha, Terry Saunders and Pappy’s Fun Club kindly donated their time to perform in support of Get Connected. The elusive, marvellous Daniel Kitson even made a surprise appearance.
We've had wonderful feedback from the night, and have raised a cool £3,240 for vulnerable young people. Read more about it here.
