TV impressionist Rory Bremner will be stopping off in York as he performs a series of special charity shows to raise money for those affected by flooding over the festive season across the north of England.

Having played to sell-out crowds in Penrith, Kendal, Keswick and Lancaster, Bremner will star in, and compere a two-hour comedic extravaganza, alongside top UK comedians, donating their services. So far confirmed are: Barry Cryer; Jess Robinson; Rob Rouse and Katie Mulgrew with others being added in the coming weeks.

Proceeds from the show will go to The York Disaster Fund managed by Two Ridings Community Foundation to help victims of the recent flooding.

The tour is being organised by Bremner’s promoters, Lakin McCarthy Entertainment.

Rory said: "It was heart-breaking to see the devastation caused by the floods in Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lancashire over the Christmas and New Year period.

"To help out, I’m bringing a top line-up of comics for some special fundraisers. Come along for a great evening of comedy and variety and support those hardest hit."
