Daniel Kitson and Some Colleagues - Benefit for United Nations Refugee Agency
  • London Fringe

Former losing contestant on much loved ITV quiz show 'Blockbusters', metaphorical swashbuckler DANIEL KITSON hosts an evening of first class stand up comedy in aid of the United Nations Refugee Agency. It's what Bob Holness would have wanted.

TIM KEY - 2009 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner, 'The Independent Magazine' columnist, Charlie Brooker's poet-in-residence and 'unsung hero of British comedy' (citation needed), Tim Key is more than your average triple threat comedian. He's at least a quadruple threat. And slutty with it.

"Don't be fooled by the bumbling delivery..(Key) is sharp and meticulous. Leagues ahead of most standup." The Guardian

NISH KUMAR - Nish's 2015 Edinburgh show, 'Long word... Long word... Blah Blah Blah... I'm so clever' was the best overall rated show of the festival. He's been on TV loads. And he hosts 'Newsjack' on BBC Radio 4 Extra. Basically, he's really, really good at being funny. What more do you need?

"A highly polished, subtly innovative stand-up... he nails the punchlines over and over again, thanks to taut, economical writing that puts audience pleasure firmly ahead of self-indulgence... His is a talent worth catching up with" - The Guardian

SOFIE HAGEN - Sofie started performing stand up in 2010. In 2013 she won her first award. In 2014 she won another award. In 2015, Sofie took her first full show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival - and guess what? She won another award - the Foster's Best Newcomer - joining the comedy elite of those who have previously been bestowed the title including Harry Hill, Tim Vine, The Mighty Boosh and Sarah Millican to name a few.

When not busy winning awards and performing across the globe, Sofie also enjoys the music of Westlife.

"eye-catchingly odd and disarmingly honest" - The Independent

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
