Join us at London’s Comedy Store for an unforgettable evening of entertainment from some of the biggest names in British comedy, all whilst raising money for Willow. The show starts at 7.30pm and doors open at 6.30pm.

Headlining the event will be Tom Davis a comedian, actor, and writer best known for hit shows King Gary, The Curse, and the BAFTA and Royal Television Society Award-winning Murder in Successville (now available to stream on Netflix). These standout roles have firmly established him as one of the UK’s most impressive comedy talents.

A familiar face across television and film, Tom’s credits include Wonka, Paddington 2, A Thousand Blows, A League of Their Own, and The Jonathan Ross Show. He also co-hosts the hugely popular podcast Wolf and Owl alongside Romesh Ranganathan, cementing his status as a favourite both on-screen and in audio.

Returning to his stand-up roots, Tom toured the UK with his debut solo show Underdog. The Times praised his performance, writing that audiences were “unable to resist the undiluted appeal of Davis’s delivery and stage persona.” The show was filmed at the iconic Kings Theatre in Portsmouth and is available to watch on Sky and NOW, produced by Off The Kerb Productions and Mighty Pebble Pictures.

Tom has also performed on BBC’s Live at the Apollo, and in 2026, he hits the road again with his brand-new tour Spudgun.
