Big Comedy Night in Bath to Raise Money for Mentoring Plus 12/06
A packed night of comedy is coming to Bath next month in support of local youth charity Mentoring Plus.
The charity fundraiser takes place on Friday 12 June at Widcombe Social Club and will feature stand-up performances from comedians Tiff Stevenson, Jarred Christmas and Harriet Dyer, with Bath comedian Harriet Beveridge hosting the evening.
Mentoring Plus supports young people aged 5 to 25 across Bath & North East Somerset who are facing challenges at home, at school or in their wider lives.
Organisers say the event promises a fantastic evening of live comedy while raising vital funds for the independent local charity.
Tiff Stevenson is well known for appearing on BBC’s Mock The Week and for acting roles in People Just Do Nothing, Game Face and The Office.
Award-winning comedian Jarred Christmas has built a reputation as one of the UK comedy circuit’s top live performers, known for his improvisation and audience interaction. He has twice won Best Compere at the Chortle Awards.
Harriet Dyer has appeared on Live At The Apollo, Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Extravaganza, Comedy Central Live and The Russell Howard Hour.
Doors open at 7pm, with the show beginning at 7.30pm.
Tickets are £23.50 per person, with all proceeds going directly to Mentoring Plus.
The event is sponsored by RIVIAM Digital Care and supported by Radio Bath.
