We're delighted to announce that our comedy night, Funny Bones: Russell Howard & Friends, has raised £18,000 to support our hospitals.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to Bristol Old Vic, bought raffle tickets, donated or walked away with some merchandise - you've all done great things to improve the health and happiness of our patients.

Funny Bones was headlined by Russell Howard, who was joined by Emma Hughes, Chelsea Birkby, Toussaint Douglass, Shalaka Kurup and MC Steve Hall.

A special thanks also goes to Pieminster, for providing the canapies for our VIP reception, and to the Hospital Arts Team for the additional pre-show entertainment.
