Some of the UK’s top comedy acts are set to perform fundraisers for the victims of the Haiti earthquake.

The first show, which has been organised by the working-rights charity No Sweat, is set to see Robin Ince, Jeremy Hardy, Josie Long, Robyn Hitchcock, Hils Barker and Shappi Khorsandi head to the Cross Kings near Kings Cross on February 10th for a night of top stand-up.

If you need a reminder of just how devastating the Haiti earthquake was, here's a great article on the BBC which shows exactly what the cost has been for the country.
