Stand Up For Labour at Questors


Labour MPs and supporters come together for comedy night

John McDonnell

Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell will be joined by Rupa Huq MP, Ruth Cadbury MP and Labour members and supporters at a special Stand up for Labour event at the Questors Theatre in Ealing (12 Mattock Lane, Ealing W5 5BQ) on Sunday 16 October.

The night is a mixture of speeches and comedy, and features Jeremy Hardy ('The News Quiz', 'Mock the Week'), 'Red Dwarf' star Norman Lovett, political nerd and TV panelist Grainne Maguire and a famous guest comedian we can't yet name. 

The event is hosted by Stand up for Labour founder Crispin Flintoff and will raise money for Ealing Central & Acton Labour Party and Brentford & Isleworth Labour Party.

The night is the 187th Stand up for Labour event that Crispin has organised. Since the first event, at the Watermans Theatre in Brentford, Crispin has helped to raise over £120,000 for the Labour Party.

Crispin said: 'I only started this because I didn't like the idea of a fundraising dinner and thought a comedy night would be a more entertaining way to raise money. Since the first date, I've brought laughter to Labour supporters throughout a dark period in our history.'

Tickets for the event are £10 (£15 on the door) and are available from Questors.
