A charity variety night held at The Holgate Club to raise funds for The Lily Foundation, which supports people affected by mitochondrial disease.
The Acomb variety night is coming to The Holgate Club on Saturday 17 October, a charity show raising funds for The Lily Foundation. If you're not familiar with the cause, The Lily Foundation is a charity that supports people affected by mitochondrial disease, a group of rare genetic conditions that can affect any organ in the body, though they most often hit the heart, brain, liver and muscles. The night is all about getting people together in Acomb to raise money for them, so it's a good one to get behind if you're in the area.
On the comedy front, Ian Wood is on the bill doing stand-up. A variety night usually means a bit of everything on one stage, and Wood's set is one of the acts taking the mic. It's a local night in a local club, so it's as much about the room as it is about the individual acts.

If you've been looking for a reason to head out on a Saturday night in October, this is a straightforward one: a night of variety at The Holgate Club, with Ian Wood on the comedy, all in aid of The Lily Foundation. It's on Saturday 17 October at The Holgate Club in Acomb, York.
