Top comedians to take part in 'Werewolf: Live - Charity Spectacular!'
It's been revealed that Iain Stirling, Ed Gamble, Rose Matafeo, Mark Watson, Sofie Hagen and London Hughes will be amongst the comedians taking part in the Werewolf: Live - Charity Spectacular! show on 15th August.
The now annual charity show, which this year takes place at the Udderbelly venue in George Square at 11:30pm on Thursday 15th, sees comedians "backstab, manipulate and fight for survival" in the panel show based comedy format.
Talking about the show, the producers explain: "For one night only, Werewolf: Live - Charity Spectacular! will be taking over Udderbelly for a special show featuring comedians playing the comedy game show Werewolf: Live. It's an hour of intrigue, backstabbing and mob rule in which the innocent villagers must fend off the two-faced werewolves before they get torn limb from limb."
The charity special is raising funds for Kidney Research UK, a cause close to host Jon Gracey's heart. He says: "My dad has had two kidney transplants, so Kidney Research UK is an important cause for my family.
"My brother ran the London marathon for the charity a few years ago, but I can't run for shit so I prance about on stage in a cape instead. Kidney disease can strike anyone at any age and there's no cure yet, so we're hoping to raise a big chunk of cash."
Tickets for the Charity Spectacular are on sale now from outlets including EdFringe.com
It was recently announced that Taskmaster producers Avalon has signed a development deal to work on bringing a version of the panel show to television.
The main Werewolf Fringe show continues daily at 9:05pm until Sunday 25th.
