The annual Shake with Laughter show is back to raise vital funds for Parkinson’s UK – online this year.

The charity’s flagship comedy night returns as a virtual event that will be available to live stream from the comfort of your own home on Monday 13 July. 

The incredible line-up will feature some Shake with Laughter alumni returning as well as some exciting new faces. 

Russell Kane (pictured) will be joined by Rob Deering, Paul Sinha (pictured), Nathan Caton, Laura Lexx, Eleanor Tiernan and Paul Mayhew-Archer, with Mick Ferry returning as host for the evening. 

Shake with Laughter was initially due to take place in March in Manchester but it was not able to go ahead due to covid-19 (coronavirus). The evening will be raising money towards pioneering research into Parkinson’s, which affects around 145,000 people in the UK. 

Paul Jackson-Clark, Director of Engagement at Parkinson’s UK, said: “We are so grateful to all the incredible acts who are supporting Virtual Shake With Laughter for Parkinson’s UK and we are really looking forward to what will be a fantastic evening of laughs. 

“Over a million people with Parkinson’s, family members, friends and carers need Parkinson’s UK now more than ever before. Lockdown restrictions are starting to lift and life is moving towards something more normal - but when this crisis is over, Parkinson’s will still be here. That’s why we are rapidly adapting our pioneering research so that we can develop new treatments.”

Virtual Shake with Laughter will be live streamed online on Monday 13 July at 8pm. Secure your ticket today: https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/events/virtual-shake-laughter
