A Leg Up for Ella at The Comedy Store, London
Charity gig with some well-known stand-ups
Charity gig with a stellar line-up
Held at the The Comedy Store, London, the night was all about raising money for a prosthetic leg for Ella, hence the title of the night. The line-up was incredible and, to be honest, I was very lucky to get on it.

The green room
Despite most, if not all, of the other comics having been on TV, everyone was very friendly. I've never gigged with so many big names before, but it's similar to my experiences in the past – there's something really lovely about it, which feels slightly unique.
The night
It was packed and there were around 400 people in, including about 10-15 of my friends and family. The thing that I was most pleased with was that my set went down as well as anyone's. Looking back, it could have been tighter, but overall it was pretty solid.
