£19.00 (Entry)
Funny ladies Miriam Elia and Jessica Stevenson are putting on a huge comedy bash at the Bloomsbury tonight in honour of Hengameh Shahidi, an Iranian journalist and human rights activist, currently imprisoned in Iran.
The support of the comedy circuit has been massive and the girls have recruited some top brass talent to perform. TV stars Julia Davis (Nighty Night, Human Remains) and Stewart Lee (Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle) join a long list of stand-ups including Fringe favorite Arthur Smith, Iranian comedienne Shappi Khorsandi, recent winner of the Dave 'Best Joke' Award Dan Antopolski and Edinburgh Award nominees Pippa Evans and Sarah Kendall.
The gig aims to highlight Hengameh's plight for simply participating in the recent peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations as well as support Amnesty International's Campaign for Womens Equality.
All proceeds will go to Amnesty International
