Stand-up comedy night at The Comedy Store with all proceeds donated to medical charities working in Gaza and the West Bank.
The Comedy Store hosts Laughter is the Best Medicine on Monday 19 October, a stand-up night with all the money raised going to medical charities working on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank. It's a charity show in the most direct sense: the ticket price doesn't go to the venue or the acts, but straight to the cause.
On the bill is Victor Patrascan as MC, with friends joining him on stage. The full line-up hasn't been announced yet, so for now it's Patrascan and a few guests, with more names to follow closer to the date. If you've seen him before, you'll know the sort of thing to expect; if not, it's a good chance to catch him in a room where the money is going somewhere specific.
That's the main thing to keep in mind here. The night is built around the fundraising, with the proceeds going to medical charities operating in Gaza and the West Bank. It's a straightforward setup: you get a night of stand-up at one of the city's most established comedy rooms, and the money ends up with medical teams working in the region. If you're looking for a way to contribute to that work, this is a pretty easy way to do it.

It's a Monday night, so it's a good one if you're after something to do early in the week rather than waiting for the weekend. The show starts at 8:00pm at The Comedy Store in London, with Victor Patrascan on the mic and more of the line-up to be announced as it gets closer.
