Bloomsbury Theatre, 15 Gordon Street, Kings Cross, WC1H 0AH

Comedy: , Stand Up

How Much: £20.00 (Entry) , £15.00 (Concessions)
To help support Peter Buckley Hill's Free Fringe, some of the best stand-ups on the UK circuit are performing in this special benefit show tonight.

Peter Buckley Hill, or PBH, is known to be something of a legend in comedy circles due to his contribution in founding the Free Fringe in 1996. This Edinburgh Festival institution puts on comedy gigs with no charge to the public, to the performers or to the venue owners so it truly is a free comedy experience.

They're hoping to grow further and carry on bringing free shows to Edinburgh in August so this is a perfect gig to see some quality comedy and support a worthy, not-for-profit festival.
