Featuring stars of Have I Got News For You, QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Live at the Apollo
A star-studded line-up of British comedy talent is set to take to the stage later this month as Game Therapy UK prepares for its fifth annual fundraising show in the heart of London’s West End.
The charity’s All-Star Comedy Fundraiser takes place on April 28, 2026 at The Comedy Store in Leicester Square, bringing together six well-known comedians for an evening aimed at raising funds for its volunteer-led projects.
Game Therapy UK (Charity Registration Number:1201860) uses gaming and social activities to support mental health and wellbeing. Organisers say the fundraiser has become a highlight of their calendar, combining entertainment with a chance to connect supporters, volunteers and beneficiaries.
This year’s line-up features a mix of established names and TV favourites, including Mark Thomas, known for shows like Manifesto and appearances on Have I Got News For You; Cally Beaton, who has appeared on Live at the Apollo and QI; and Nick Helm, recognised for 8 Out of 10 Cats and his role in Uncle.
They are joined by Shazia Mirza (Have I Got News For You, The World Stands Up), Matt Richardson (Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Drunk History) and Steve Best (Britains Got Talent), with hosting duties handled by Gary Colman (Dorks n Orks, “Fiercely funny” – GQ).
Organisers describe the evening as “an unmissable night of fun,” noting that all performers are donating their time to support the cause. Alongside the comedy, attendees have the opportunity to meet some of the charity’s volunteers and learn more about its work.
Tickets are priced between £10 and £20, with discounted options available for students, seniors and blue light card holders. Lower-cost tickets are also being offered to ensure accessibility for those facing financial hardship.
The event runs from 7pm-11pm, with performances scheduled from 7:30pm. Entry is restricted to those aged 18 and over, and organisers note that line-ups may be subject to change.
