Comics take to the catwalk again

Rosie Jones, Shazia Mirza, Katie Norris, and Kiri Pritchard-McLean are to take to the the catwalk in a series of fundraising gigs.

It will be the second year that designer Bo Carter has staged her Fashion Loves Comedy events, with Jenny Eclair, Jen Brister, Desiree Burch and Sophie Duker taking part in 2024.

The new shows will be at the Bedford pub in Balham – home of Banana Cabaret – on March 7, 8, and 10 and raise money for the Choose Love refugee charity. 

Here’s a film about last year’s event, run by Yorkshire-based  ethical fashion specialist Carter:

• Tom Davis, Laura Smyth, Josh Widdicombe and Romesh Ranganathan are hosting a charity gig at the Hackney Empire in East London on  March 26 to raise money for a King’s Trust programme to give disadvantaged young people encouragement into creative witting. Tickets are available here.
