Music lovers and comedy fans are invited to an evening of witty storytelling at a “Let’s Do It!” classic comic song night comes to St Mary’s Church, Acton.
The charity fundraising event will take place on Saturday March 21st at 7pm at the Grade I listed church on Monks Lane with all proceeds supporting St Luke’s Hospice.
It will feature performer Paul Thompson, who will bring to life the songs and characters of much-loved comic songwriters including Victoria Wood, Tom Lehrer, Flanders and Swann, and Jake Thackray.
