Words by Harrison Read

Your favourite comedian Hugh Dennis was back to host April Foolery, an annual fundraising for charity Eastside.

The comedy and jazz event held in London’s Criterion Theatre saw the likes of Jenny Eclair performing, raising over £29,000 for Lund Fund, a campaign for disadvantaged children. 

Eastside’s mission is to inspire young people through participation in arts programmes, having delivered 1,725 workshops reaching 40,173 young people across the country in 2022/2023. 

Eastside is working towards a future in which all young people’s creativity is valued, nurtured and celebrated.
