Prestonfield House Hotel – Friday 8 April
Comedian Fred Macaulay (above) is to host an evening of comedy in aid of St Columba’s Hospice. The event, Stand Up for St Columba’s Hospice, will also see a variety of top comedy and music acts take to the stage.
Joining Fred on stage will be queen of the comedy song Dillie Keane, founder of the all-female comedy troupe Fascinating Aïda and Britain’s Got Talent star ventriloquist Steve Hewlett. Topping the bill is stalwart of Scottish comedy and regular headliner at comedy gigs throughout the UK, Gary Little.
The acts are coming together to perform at the event which raises funds for St Columba’s Hospice. The Hospice was the first modern hospice in Scotland when it opened in 1977 and it remains as a leader in providing specialist palliative care today. The Hospice looks after 1,300 patients and their families each year from across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Fred Macaulay said: “Stand Up for St Columba’s Hospice is a fantastic evening and I am really looking forward to hosting this event. It will be great to perform for so many people who will all come out to support the Hospice and the incredible work they do. I am sure the other comedians and acts are just as excited as I am about standing up for St Columba’s Hospice!”
Stand Up for St Columba’s Hospice takes place at Prestonfield House, Edinburgh, on Friday 8 April and tickets are £95 each. The evening also includes a champagne reception, dinner, live music and a ceilidh.
