Gareth Berliner is hosting “An Explosive Night of Comedy” – headlined by Ed Byrne - at the Comedy Store, London, on November 5th. The night is a fund-raiser for St Mark’s Hospital, Harrow which, says Gareth, has saved his life on more than one occasion.
Gareth suffers from Crohn’s Disease which – after considerable surgery over many years – has left him with very little gut – not nearly enough to process food and absorb nutrition. However, there is nothing gutless about Gareth as people who’ve seen his stand-up routine can attest!
The team at St Mark’s – a worldwide centre of excellence dealing with diseases of the gut - devised a regime of intra-venous nutrition which keeps Gareth alive. This high profile benefit is one of Gareth’s ways of thanking St Mark’s by helping them raise money for their Mosaic Appeal.
On November 5th, Gareth will host the explosive night of comedy and do a 10 minute spot – Ed Byrne headlines, with Glenn Wool,
Richard Herring, Brendon Burns (Winner of the IF.Commedie Award 07), Micky D, Tanya Lee-Davis, Adam Bloom, David Hadingham.
It’s a huge night of comedy at the Comedy Store in Leicester Square for a truly worthwhile cause.
