The Irish stand up community is coming together this month for 'Stand Up to Hunger', a night of comedy in aid of the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.

Taking place on November 26th in Dublin’s Liberty Hall, 'Stand Up to Hunger' will support UNICEF by raising urgently needed funds to deliver lifesaving food aid, medical supplies and provide WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) facilities for the people of Yemen.

The night will be hosted by the imitable Karl Spain (Republic of Telly, Karl Spain Wants a Wife), and will feature the talents of Tony Cantwell, Emma Doran (The Deirdre O’Kane Show), Barry Murphy (Apres Match), Julie Jay (The Tommy Tiernan Show), Fred Cooke (Dancing with the Stars), Liam Nugent (Peter McGann), Colum McDonnell (Savage Eye, Irish Pictorial Weekly) & Ed Sammon (Bridget and Eamon, Republic of Telly), in support of a most worthy cause which is shamefully getting lost to empathy fatigue.

Tickets are on sale now through Eventbrite. There will also be an online raffle through iDonate with some amazing prizes, including tickets to upcoming music and comedy shows for the likes of Mary Wallopers, Dara O’Brien, Foil, Arms & Hog and The Book of Mormon to name a few, and other prizes such as merch and signed records from Bitch Falcon and Ham Sandwich, and much much more. To buy tickets for the raffle go to iDonate.ie.

80% of the population in Yemen are in need of help, including 12 million children, as the country is in the grip of the world's worst humanitarian crisis. More than 2 million children are suffering from acute malnutrition and are in desperate need of lifesaving treatment. In addition to this, children and their families are facing outbreaks of cholera and other diseases, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

'Stand Up To Hunger' takes place on November 26th at 8pm in Liberty Hall, Dublin. Tickets are €23.80 including booking fee and are on sale now on Eventbrite.
