A COMEDY night will raise money to support the homeless on Thursday.

Hilarity Bites will raise money for Darlington homeless charity The 700 Club with an event that will see six comedians take to the stage at the Old English Gentleman pub.

The show is one of a number taking place around the country as part of the Homeless Support Stand-Up Project.

A spokesman for Hilarity Bites said: “We’re delighted to support this project, this is a great cause and will be a great night of comedy.

“Please join us to help raise funds to support vulnerable people at Christmas time.”

The comedians performing are Lee Kyle, Anth Young, Carl Hutchinson, Nick Cranston, Catherine Scott and Matt Hoss.

Tickets are £5 and can be booked at the venue or online at hilaritybites.co.uk. Doors open at 7.30pm.
