Gala Performance

Marcus Brigstocke, Luke Friend, Ada Campe and David Arnold stared in a night, full of comedy, music and inspiration!

Each ticket also entered supporters into a top-quality raffle (See below, prizes are not a basket of fruit or a box of chocolates!)

All profits from this charity event went to our local suicide prevention legacy fund.

The Riviera International Centre hosted the BIG Show of Hope for 8pm – 10:30 pm on Tue 30th Sept

Thanks to Ben Milden of Laughter Lab we had world famous stars lined up to entertain you. 

Not only did we have an amazing night, but you will helped helping raise awareness of an important subject. It was a win win!
