Cranford Hospice is staging a comedy show entitled Comedy for Cranford.
On Saturday, February 3 2018, renowned comedians Urzila Carlson, Jesse Griffin and Vaughan King will perform at the MTG Century Theatre in Napier to deliver a night of laughs and to raise money for Cranford Hospice.
"Comedy can be a great way to share time with family and friends" says Cranford Hospice chief executive Janice Byford-Jones. "We are very lucky to have these comedians take time from their schedules to come to Hawke's Bay and support Cranford Hospice".
South African-born Urzila Carlson is generously waiving her fee for this show. She is a multi-award-winning stand-up comedian who appears regularly on television shows in Australia and New Zealand. In New Zealand she has sold out every solo show since 2009.
Carlson is teaming up with Griffin who is well known for his character of American country music singer "Wilson Dixon". His understated delivery and clever observational humour has seen him become a regular performer on the NZ stand up circuit.
