Comedian, Rob Brydon, talks to Leap Anywhere TV at the recent Concert for Care event.
Here at Leap Anywhere, we have noticed a trend, one that will provide you with the good old belly-shaking laugh you need. Comedy nights are cropping up all over the city ready to help you shake off those wintery woes and provide you with a huge dose of good karma because, of course, they benefit a good cause. If you want to tackle racism, help build world peace or anything inbetween then we have the finest selection of comedic talent waiting to help you laugh your inevitably embarrassing Christmas socks off. I’ve decided to put together my top five for you lucky readers, you can thank me later, I’m here all week...
1. Livestock, 12th November, Hammersmith Apollo
Well, with a title not dissimilar to a certain music festival, you wouldn’t expect anything less than absolutely mind-blowing brilliant comedy, eh? Well, luckily for us, it provides just that. This is a star-studded occasion boasting appearances from Stephen Merchant, Russell Howard, Mark Watson and many more big names in the comedy world. The money raised goes to the ‘Food Chain Campaign’.
2. Are you taking the peace? 9th November, Comedy Store, Piccadilly
Again, if the title is anything to go by, this is going to be hilarious (or atleast an evening of clever word-play). Headlining this night of barnstorming comedy is the ever-present Stephen Merchant (someone’s earning their brownie points...). Top talents such as Adam Hills, Stewart Francis and Alistair Barry will be there to back him up in what promises to be a top quality night in aid of International Alert.
3. Stand Up Against Racism, 9th November, Comedy Café, Shoreditch
The clever word play just keeps on coming, but this night does exactly what it says on the tin. Shappi Khorsandi, Paul Sindha and Simon Brodkin will take to the stage to help tackle racism and build a multi-ethnic Britain.
4. A Joke Too Far: Stand Up For Burma, 12th November, The Old Queens Head, Essex Road
A more humble title here, but that doesn’t take away from the importance of the event, or the fact that it has some top names taking to the stage. Robin Ince, Richard Herring, Josie Long, Alexis Dubus and Gavin Osbourne will all make a detour on the comedy circuit to help raise money for Amnesty International.
5. Did I Say That Out Loud? 15th November, Shaw Theatre, Euston Road
Hmm, not so sure on this particular title, but who cares when it means that the self-confessed ‘enemy of the stupid’ Boe The Comedian will be gracing the stage with his unique observational comedy in aid of Kids Company. An amazing comedian for an amazing cause. Perfect, that’s what we’re all about.
