A fantastic night of laughter is on the horizon as Avalon proudly presents a Comedy Night in aid of Embrace, a Bedford-based charity dedicated to supporting families living with disabilities in Bedfordshire. The event will take place at Leicester Square Theatre on 25th June 2024, featuring an incredible line up of top comedians, including the hilarious Rob Delaney and the brilliant Ahir Shah, with more acts to be announced. 

 

This one-night-only comedy extravaganza promises to deliver an unforgettable evening while raising crucial funds for Embrace’s ongoing work in the community. All proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to the charity, helping them continue their essential support services. 

 

For over 70 years, Embrace has provided unwavering support to people with disabilities and their families in Bedfordshire. They offer a wide range of services for young people with complex needs, including early years groups, holiday clubs, social activities, and well-being support for parent carers. As a charity, they rely on fundraising events like this to sustain their vital work.
