We are thrilled to announce a spectacular evening of comedy at Home Park Stadium courtesy of local entertainment events company – A Press of Suspects {presents} with all money raised going to the vital community outreach work of Project 35.
There will be an array of local comedy talent from Plymouth and Devon performing on the night including Suzy Bennet, David Arnold, Edward Tripp, and Willtordian Ballorian Edwardian.
In keeping with the spirit of Project 35, tickets are available on a “pay what you can afford” basis, with a minimum price of £8. This will allow comedy goers to pay more for their ticket, elevating the support of the event for Project 35, but will give improved access to the local community to attend an affordable evening of entertainment at the Theatre of Greens, with all money raised going to Project 35.
Project 35, in partnership with Ginsters, is our landmark social action initiative aimed at reducing poverty in Plymouth, Devon, and Cornwall through a comprehensive campaign of fund-raising, awareness raising, social outreach, food donations, education, and charity support. The project has received overwhelming support from Argyle supporters, community members, partners, and organisations since its inception.
Event organiser and comedian Will Skillington said: “It is an honour to be able to give something back to the city and we can’t wait to entertain the community with our comedy, and support Project 35.”
The event is taking place on Thursday, 6 April, doors open from 7pm and the entertainment will commence at 8pm for those aged 16 plus. Tickets are ‘pay what you can afford’ with a minimum ticket price of £8 and are available now via the Ticket Link.
