On 8 August the Big Comedy Benefit at Edinburgh International Conference Centre will give you the opportunity of seeing eight Fringe acts all at one time, as well as raising money for charity.
The two hour long Big Comedy Benefit will raise money for the charity which tries to support children and young people across the country.
Jordyn Armstrong, Events Manager for Barnardo’s Scotland said: “Tickets for some fringe shows like Britain’s Got Talent winner Lost Voice Guy and television favourite Russell Howard are already sold-out so the only place you can see them perform is at our show.
“We think we’ve got an amazing line-up for visitors attending The Fringe; we really appreciate everyone’s support and are grateful to all of the comedians for making time in their schedule to perform at our Comedy Benefit.”
Barnardo’s Scotland Director Martin Crewe said: “This is always a really fun event and this year’s line-up looks fantastic. It’s a great opportunity to see some of the best acts from this year’s Fringe and the money which is raised really will make a difference to the lives of thousands of vulnerable children, young people, parents and carers we support across the country.”
All of the funds raised at the Comedy Benefit go to community-based services providing life-changing support to children and young people across Scotland. Since its launch in 2012 the event has raised over £44,000, the charity is hoping this year to take that total in to the high £50,000s.
