Comedian Alistair Barrie has organised this annual charity gala in aid of the Hertfordshire Breast Unit Appeal ever since a close family member was treated there and made a full recovery. After a break for the pandemic and a period of theatre rebuilding, he is back with what he considers his strongest line-up yet — a notable claim given that previous editions have featured Al Murray, Jo Brand, Ed Byrne, Alan Davies, Marcus Brigstocke and Rachel Parris.

This year's bill features Alistair Barrie, Matt Bragg, Lily Phillips, Matt Richardson and Romesh Ranganathan, with a special appearance from Sarah Johannessen, a graduate of the BEAM Masterclass Stand-Up Course Spring 2026.
