The event can be viewed below!

Jack Baldwin and Liam Jeavons, said today, "It was important to us to put this evening together, as we, like so many others, have both been directly affected by the issues which led to these charities being established. All of us, and indeed all charities, are under huge strain at the moment and we thought this event would be a small way of helping - hopefully helping the charities with a lot of donations - but also helping the audience with some free entertainment and escape. It's a really exciting and eclectic bill: there's some serious drama, light sketches, poetry, prose, dark comedy, stand-up from a really wonderful group of performers, writers and directors. Everyone involved has given their talent, time and energy for free so that every donation will go to the charities, split equally between them."
