Comedians Tim Vine, Shappi Khorsandi, John Gordillo and Lee Nelson will be among those providing the laughs this weekend at a special comedy night in aid of north London charity Grief Encounter.

The charity supports children, young people and their families following a bereavement.

Shelley Gilbert, director of Grief Encounter, says: "We do not receive any government funding so we rely solely on public donations. We are hoping that the comedy night will help us to raise much needed funds to enable us to carry on offering our unique services to ensure that bereaved children, young poeple and their families receive the correct support, advice and recognition following the death of a parent or sibling."

The show is the charity's 6th annual fundraising comedy night and takes place on Saturday (June 19) at 8pm at artsdepot, Nether Street, Finchley. Tickets: 020 8446 7452.
