Some of the biggest names in stand-up will perform a live streamed gig for charity in May.
Belly Laughs, the popular series of comedy gigs which takes place in restaurants across Bristol, is gearing up for a one-off online edition amid the Covid-19 lockdown.
Bristol's Mark Olver will be joined by some of his comedian friends and familiar local faces at the event on May 10, including Russell Howard, Jon Richardson, Alex Lovell, Jayde Adams, John Robins, Joe Wilkinson and many more to be announced.
Mark and his funny chums will be "celebrating our glorious city" while raising money for FareShare South West, Julian Trust, Bristol Old Vic and Great Western Air Ambulance Charity.
Mark said: "We do stuff in that area where food, comedy and doing good stuff for others meets.
"We’re known most for our January gigs but the world’s gone a little bit crazy right now and I think Belly Laughs At Home could be the antidote to that - for a couple of hours anyway.
"I’m always blown away by people’s generosity at these events and am sure we can raise some money for these great causes whilst having a bit of a laugh at the same time."
Mark added that although there is no obligation to donate for those who tune in to watch, donations of £4 are suggested which will be split equally between the four aforementioned charities.
So far £2,434 has been raised towards a target of £5,000. For more information and to donate, visit the event page.
