Stand Up for Shelter

For one night only, on Wednesday 27 February 2013, a group of top comedians and an audience of 3,000 were standing up for homeless children at London's Hammersmith Apollo.

The night featured some of the biggest names in British comedy including Jimmy Carr, Tim Minchin, Stewart Francis, Alistair McGowan, Sara Pascoe and musical performers The Cuban Brothers. The night was hosted by our very own Christian O'Connell.
