Dylan Moran is currently on a UK tour but there is an extra chance to catch him in London tonight when he headlines a benefit show for mental health charity Heads Held High.
Also on the excellent bill are Rich Hall, Michelle de Swarte and Fin Taylor.
If they give national treasure titles to American comedians the masterfully grumpy Rich Hall should be well due for the honour by now. Fin Taylor is a provocative, thoughtful comic who always has a disinctive take on the current culture wars.
The evening is compered by Tom Ward, who works with Head Held High on “Stand up for yourself” coaching and encouraging participants through one-to-one comedy writing sessions.
Ward has appeared on “Live at The Apollo” “Roast Battle” and “The Stand Up Sketch show” as well as the LAD Bible series “In my personal space” interviewing celebrities such as Kyle Walker, Lady Leeshurr, and Jamie Laing.
Head Held High works with young people and vulnerable adults to improve their mental health and wellbeing through their “Stand up for yourself” programme. Join a night of stand-up comedy to help raise funds, where you will hear from headline acts as well as emerging comedians from the “Stand up for yourself” course. Your support will keep their students walking with their heads held high. Check out the other projects on http://www.headheldhigh.org.uk.
The show starts at 7.30pm on Monday, May 9. Buy tickets here.
