Mencap's Big Comedy Special

There's a truly phenomenal bill at this benefit gig in aid of Mencap. Acerbic, deadpan wit Jo Brand, who's no stranger to the Mencap comedy fundraiser, joins the line-up alongside sharp Iranian stand-up Omid Djalili, consummate comic Richard Herring, every young (and, let's face it, old) geek's dream girl, Jessica Hynes, satirical Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell, '8 Out of 10 Cats' panel regular Jon Richardson, Susan Calman, Tim Vine and Wendy Wason. Plus, just added to the line-up are arena-filling megastar Russell Howard, actor Tim Downie, ace sketch duo and British Comedy Award-winners Cardinal Burns, plus sketches from Ronni Ancona, Francine Lewis and Lucy Punch.
