Laugh for the Climate: The Flight Free UK Big Comedy Fundraiser

Welcome to our hybrid event, live from Conway Hall in London and also Zooming direct to your living room.

We are excited to present a line-up of fantastic comics for your entertainment. Sunil Patel, Tom Ward, Kerry Godliman, Tom Mayhew, Jenny Bede and Ken Cheng will take to the stage for a rip-roaring night of laughter and entertainment.

We will also be joined by earth-pop duo Berne to round the evening off with some music. The event will be hosted by the climate journalist and broadcaster, Lucy Siegle.

This event is the grand finale of our annual fundraising month, and it's your chance to have a fantastic night out while supporting a very worthy cause.

Your ticket purchase will help us reach more people with our campaign, meaning that we can educate more people on the climate impact of aviation, inspire more people to travel without flying, and speed up the social shift away from taking flights as the norm.

We hope you can join us for this brilliant event!

Doors open at 7pm. First set, 7.30pm.

Tickets: £20 to be there in person. £10 to join us online*.

*There will be a professional team managing our sound, so our Zoom audience can fully enjoy the experience.

If you are joining in person, there is no need to print or bring a real ticket – we'll have a list of names on the door. There is a bar at the venue where you can purchase drinks and light refreshments.

If you are joining online, you will receive a Zoom link by email in advance of the event. The broadcast will begin with the first set at 7.30pm.

Tom Mayhew Mixing the personal with the political, Tom Mayhew's material about his working class background sets him apart from any other act on the circuit. His 2019 Edinburgh show I, Tom Mayhew, received 4 and 5 star reviews across the board, and transferred to a sell-out Soho Theatre run.
