Today GamesAid announces further details of its forthcoming comedy night, Stand Up for GamesAid. The charity’s inaugural comedy fundraising event will take place at The Comedy Store, London on 15th April 2013 at 8pm. Sponsored by Indigo Pearl PR the event promises to be a barrel of laughs with a number of familiar faces from the world of comedy waiting to tickle your funny bits. Tickets costs £10 or £8 for students and nurses (plus booking fee) and are available now from The Comedy Store website.
GamesAid’s charity work received a major boost after Green Man Gaming today announced that it had raised over £30,000 for GamesAid.
Numskull and Bossa Studios are supporting the Stand Up for GamesAid comedy event coming this May 9th. GamesAid’s funniest night, Stand Up for GamesAid, is reaching for another magnificent triumph with a first class lineup and drum-rolling hype. It’s no wonder tickets are already flying fast.
Eurogamer:
GamesAid is an umbrella charity we care about because it belongs to and is propelled by everyone working in the UK games industry. We direct our fundraising and support towards GamesAid which then divides the money across a selection of charities focused on helping disadvantaged and disabled young people.
We, personally, donate gifts we're sent so they can be sold at auction, and if we happen to be running a marathon (why did I sign up for that?!) or doing a Tough Mudder or any kind of fundraising event, we tend to put GamesAid on our bib. As does everyone else, be they developer, PR, games shop, journalist and so on.
