A COMEDY night on Saturday will be a serious affair.

Just The Tonic, which meets from Popworld/Sub89 in Friar Street, is welcoming four comics for a show that will raise funds for Ukraine.

Organisers say all proceeds will go to a charity working to help the country which has been invaded by Putin’s troops.

Acts and tech crews are being paid for their work, but everything else will go the charity.

On the bill are Lloyd Griffith, Ross Smith, Tom Little and Matt Rees.

The Evening Standard says that Lloyd delivers punchy gags while revealing a jaw-dropping singing voice.

Ross is a someone who was a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and is seen as a rising star.

Tom has produced a series of witty Twitter videos in which he has put lyrics to famous television programmes, including Grandstand.

And Matt has been described by Metro as disarmingly funny, laid back but hysterical. Like a walking chillum.

Doors open at 6.45pm, with the comedy starting at 8pm. Tickets cost £16.50, or £11 for concessions.
