Some of "the UK's funniest comedians" are set to come together in support of Momentum Children's Charity.

Taking place at The Arthur Cotterell Theatre at Kingston College on Thursday 9 July, this year's Comedy Night will be headlined by Chris McCausland, fresh from a successful nationwide tour.

A familiar face on television, Chris McCausland, is known for regular appearances across comedy and entertainment shows, and for winning the 2024 series of Strictly Come Dancing.

Joining Chris on the lineup is comedian, Esther Manito, known for her sharp wit and relatable storytelling, and Michael Odewale who is well-recognised for his intelligent humour and delivering standout sets at venues and festivals across the country.

Returning for a fifth time as host is local comedian and long-time supporter Erich McElroy.

He said: "I'm really pleased to be hosting Momentum's Comedy Night for the fifth time.

"It's a brilliant charity doing incredibly important work for families with seriously ill children.

"This is the best kind of gig - people come in expecting to laugh, and if they don't, we can always call it 'raising awareness' instead.
