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.”
