An evening of stand-up comedy in aid of a charity for children will take place this evening.

The event, at Wanstead Cricket Club in Overton Drive, is in aid of CHAOS, which provides free camping holidays for eight to 12-year-olds who would not otherwise have a break from urban city life.

The show will be headlined by entertainer and magician Otiz Cannelloni.

Other acts include guitar-playing comic Jay Foreman, 16-year-old Wanstead High School student Zac Hurst, Tim Shishodia and Lenny Sherman.

It will take place at 7.30pm, with tickets priced at £10.
