Back in July, Stand Up For Women threw their first comedy fundraiser, which raised money for women’s charities, including Women’s Aid, Rape Crisis and the brilliant No More Page Three campaign. With Andi Osho and Miss London on the bill (winners of the Funny Women Awards in 2007 and 2009 respectively), alongside Lucy Porter and Tiffany Stevenson, the night also featured three-times Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated Josie Long, Joe Wells, Ada Campe and the sketch prowess of John-Luke Roberts and Nadia Kamil.

We're delighted to see that this amazing charity are throwing another benefit, this time at the beautiful Wilton's Music Hall. Comedy Crackers will be taking place on Thursday 7th November with yet another jam-packed lineup. Comics on the bill this time round include the hilarious Sara Pascoe (our Funny Women Awards runner-up 2008 and all round comedy champion), everyone's favourite posh comic Jack Whitehall and Junior Simpson. There's also some of our favourite funny ladies, including another outing from Tiffany Stevenson, who's joined by 2006 Awards winner Suzy Bennett. The rest of the lineup's just as good – check it out here

We love a night of comedy for a good cause – and if there wasn't already enough to smile about, there are limited early bird tickets available at a discounted price! Hurry though – once they're gone, they're gone…

Stand Up For Women will be taking place on Thursday 7th November, 7pm at Wilton's Music Hall, London.
