The Spread a Smile Comedy Night will once again return to The Comedy Store, London, on Monday 16 November 2026 for another unforgettable night of stand-up comedy.

Hosted and curated by our amazing Ambassador, Suzi Ruffell, the evening promises to be a brilliant night of comedy, welcoming some incredibly talented comedians to the stage, including Tom Allen, Joel Dommett and Dinesh Nathan.

Suzi Ruffell said: “It’s always a pleasure to host the Spread a Smile Comedy Night and to see so many brilliant comedians come together to support such an important cause. A huge thank you to Tom, Joel, Dinesh and everyone taking part for giving their time to help raise vital funds for Spread a Smile. It’s going to be a great night, and I hope lots of people will come along, have a laugh and support the charity.”

Now in its seventh year, the Comedy Night is proudly sponsored by Canary Wharf Contractors Fund and Texel Foundation. This much-loved event has raised more than £100,000 to date, helping to fund our work spreading smiles in 39 NHS hospitals and six hospices across the country.

Yesterday we were delighted to welcome our Ambassador and Comedian Suzi Ruffell, along with fellow Comedian Dinesh Nathan on one of our visits to University College London Hospital (UCLH).

Suzi and Dinesh joined us to meet teenagers receiving treatment in the oncology inpatient and outpatient units and to find out more about how Spread a Smile work with our hospital partners to support the seriously ill children and young people in their care.

They joined the Spread a Smile team – our Magician Nick, and one of our Entertainers, Rosie – to help spread a little bit of joy and laughter and provide some distraction and fun to the young people they met.

Spread a Smile Ambassador Suzi Ruffell said: “Laughter has an incredible way of lifting spirits and helping people escape from day to day realities – even if it’s just for a short time. I’m proud to be an Ambassador for Spread a Smile and feel even more proud every time I get the opportunity to join them in hospital and meet some of the incredible young people that they help support.”

Dinesh said: ‘It was brilliant to join Spread a Smile in hospital yesterday to see what they do first hand and meet some of the teenagers they support. It was easy to see the difference they make to these young people who are going through some really difficult times. It was great to be involved and help in some way. I’ll definitely be back!’

Thank you to both Suzi and Dinesh for their support and for helping us to spread even more smiles to some of our families.
