Comedy night to rock the Komedia

Tuesday 7th February 2012

Comedians will lend their support to a charity working with street children in Nepal.

Five acts will take to the stage at Brighton's Komedia for Comedy Rocks in aid of Our Sansar.

The charity works in Chitwan, Nepal, where there are about 200 children living on the streets. There is currently no provision of food or shelter for the youngsters.

Julia Krepska, co-founder of the Brighton-based charity, said: "For less than £11,000 a year, we can rent, run and staff a home to provide food, shelter, education and emotional support for children as young as three with nowhere else to turn.

"We're so grateful to our five comedians, who are giving their time for free to help us raise the money we need to help these children."

The night will be compered by Neil Frost and include Alexis Dubus as Marcel Lucont, Sara Pascoe and Matthew Crosby. Also on the bill are Angela Barnes and Romesh Ranganathan.

Tickets for the event on March 15 cost £15. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7.30pm show. Visit http://www.oursansar.org for tickets or they are available on the door for £20.
