On Monday 4 November we returned to The Comedy Store, London for the Spread a Smile 5th stand-up Comedy Night to help raise vital funds for seriously ill children and their families.

Generously sponsored by Canary Wharf Contractors and Texel Foundation and hosted and curated by Spread a Smile Ambassador Suzi Ruffell, the event was a huge success with much laughter in the room.

Guests were treated to brilliant performances from Chantel Nash, Jack Skipper, Ania Magliano, Tom Allen and also Nish Kumar who kindly stepped in for Angela Barnes. The Military Mindreader Richard Jones, another Spread a Smile Ambassador, also joined us to showcase his talents with a special guest appearance.

So far over £100,000 has been raised through our Comedy Nights and we can’t thank Suzi, our sponsors, The Comedy Store, our performers and everyone who joined us enough for their support.
