The Good Shepherd are linking up with the University of Wolverhampton at The Halls to put on a night of comedy to raise funds for the charity.

‘Stand up for Change’ is a night featuring stand-up comedy from headliner Josh Pugh, Lindsey Santoro, and Jack Kirwan and Andy McBurney, taking place at the Wulfrun Hall on Friday 28 March. 

Proceeds from the event will be invested into the range of support services delivered by the Good Shepherd to help people from across the city.

The night at the Wulfrun Hall follows many successful previous comedy nights linked to the Good Shepherd, including Josh, Jack and Andy performing at the ECC Sports & Social Club, and Clinton Baptiste and others at the Cleveland Arms, who have supported the charity for many years.

“This is a new departure for us, building on the success of previous comedy nights –-which we always really appreciate –-by going to the iconic city centre venue and delivering an event at the Wulfrun Hall,” says Good Shepherd CEO Tom Hayden.

“From the moment we approached The Halls, they have been incredibly supportive both of our work in the community and what we are trying to achieve, and have supported us every step of the way.

“As one of our ambassadors, Jack has also played a key part in the process, and we are so grateful to him and Andy, to Josh, and Lindsey, for giving up their time for the Good Shepherd.

“They are all fantastic performers in their own right, and we know that anyone who comes along is in for a night of great entertainment, whilst also helping to improve the lives of people from Wolverhampton at the same time.”

Tickets cost £20 and will be available via pre-sale from 10am on Thursday 31 October, before going on general sale from 10am on Friday 1 November at thehallswolverhampton.co.uk.
