Russell Howard to host huge charity stand-up gala at The O2 with Aisling Bea, Jimmy Carr, Mo Gilligan and more
Greg Davies, Guz Khan, John Bishop, Michael McIntyre and Michelle Wolf also join the Felix Foundation comedy bill
Russell Howard will host The Felix Foundation Charity Stand-Up Gala at The O2 on 8 February 2027, bringing an unusually stacked comedy line-up together in support of families affected by premature birth, stillbirth and neonatal death.
Joining Russell Howard are Aisling Bea, Greg Davies, Guz Khan, Jimmy Carr, John Bishop, Michael McIntyre, Mo Gilligan and Michelle Wolf. Further performers will join the bill, with more names still under wraps.
It lands during a busy stretch for several of the comics involved. Howard is currently touring Don’t Tell The Algorithm, following a run at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe, and has been performing stand-up since 1998. Davies, meanwhile, continues his Full Fat Legend tour – his biggest live run to date – with dates extending into 2027.
Gilligan is also deep into The Mo You Know, including his own forthcoming appearance at The O2, while Carr’s Laughs Funny tour continues around the UK. In other words, this is a blockbuster bill full of comics all arriving at the top of their game – offering a very rare chance to see them all in the same room.
All money raised from the gala will go to The Felix Foundation. The charity supports parents, siblings and other close family members affected by premature birth, stillbirth, neonatal death and related bereavement, including through specialist support, practical assistance and resources for healthcare settings. The organisation registered as a charity in England and Wales in June 2026, with Howard among its trustees.
More information is available from The Felix Foundation website, including details on how to donate.
