Event information

You Can’t Blame Lesley For Trying:
The Horse Hospital Fundraiser

You Can’t Blame a Girl For Trying, or in this case, You Can’t Blame Lesley for having a go either, is a comedy night with Emily Pope, showcasing the wildest new stand up comedy and funniest performance art in the UK.

The acts are invited to perform material dealing with the usual issues - sex, death, love, money, self care (hopefully not too much of this) jealousy, the overthrowing of the Tory government and the futility of a comedy set in order to promote this. Is it true that the more we sit in rooms laughing, the more we are distracted with our own sense of humour?

We’ve teamed up with Lesley Mag to produce this fundraiser, in honour of the wonderful Horse Hospital. The HH is facing closure due to the theme of the night; gentrification. This irritating little word is wreaking havoc everywhere, and so we are asking the acts and the audience to laugh in the face of their superfood porridge and oat milk from the overpriced cafe. Everyone knows this means you are essentially eating oats, with wet oats on top.
