The event will be at 18:00 on Saturday December 16 at Mitchell Theatre, 6 Granville Street Glasgow, G3 7DR. Tickets are £5 and available at here.

The comedians performing are Preacher Moss, Jeremy McLellan, Ali Official, Bilal Zafar, Prince Abdi and Aatif Nawaz.

The gig is part of Human Appeal’s 16 city comedy tour this December, organised in order to make people laugh whilst raising awareness of the greater risk winter brings to people living in dangerous circumstances through their #WinterKills campaign.

The money raised by Human Appeal will go towards food packs, emergency kits (clothing, blankets, mattresses and heating supplies) and shelter for people vulnerable to winter throughout the UK, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia and Kenya.

Othman Moqbel, Human Appeal’s chief executive, said: “For millions of people around the world, winter can be a killer. Sub-zero temperatures, freezing rain, sleet and snow are deadly when you don’t have a home to go to, warm clothes to wear or shoes on your feet. The danger of conflict has forced millions to flee their homes in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Myanmar but they are about to face another danger they can’t accept - winter. And on the streets of the UK, so many people don’t have a roof over their heads and sleep on the freezing streets, wrapped in thin sleeping bags or cardboard boxes.

“At Human Appeal, we believe that every life is precious. That’s why we’re launching our #WinterKills campaign, so that we can work together to stop winter taking innocent lives. We aim to help millions of people to survive winter by distributing vital necessities like nutritious food, blankets, mattresses, fuel and warm clothing.

“We have some very good comedians who are not only committed to making people laugh but are passionate advocates for helping people in this country and around the globe who are most in need during the unforgiving winter months.”
