Laugh or the Polar Bear Gets It

I am tremendously excited that our comedy fundraiser Laugh or the Polar Bear Gets It has launched today.

To show how brilliant our line-up is, I've done some digging for clips of some of our stars' finest moments. Warning - some contain explicit language.

Dan Antopolski. Ah Dan. I wasn't lucky enough to have attended LIVEstock, our comedy gig from 2009. Thankfully the internet has my back with this clip from the event. Comedy rapping genius.

Simon Day. Best known as part of The Fast Show troop, so I've picked one of my favourite sketches.

Richard Herring. Richard tackles religion here in a show that is intriguingly titled, Christ on a Bike. Amusement of biblical proportions.

Josie Long. I love her and I relate more to this fancy dress skit than I care to admit.

Lucy Porter. Lovely Lucy Porter - holding her own here on a classic episode of Mock the Week.

Rob Rouse. Rob is one of those comedians that can make me laugh just by looking at him. A bit like Peter Kay. Here's a classic clip of his stand-up.

And finally there'll be a musical interlude by Badly Drawn Boy. For me, I'll always love this cover from the About A Boy soundtrack.

Plenty to look forward to and we'll be adding new names to the line-up over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out.
