Fundraising event - Stand Up with Irving

Irving is a member of the Cambridge Junctions Total Arts and staff team Ten years ago he was a founder member of the Junction's disability arts group, Total Arts. He has recently crowdfunded £25,000 for a new wheelchair that will bring him to a standing position, something many people take for granted. This stand up show celebrates that with his new chair he will be standing up again soon!

Having reached the fundraising target for his new wheelchair, undeterred by lockdown, Irving is hosting a night of comedy to raise money for a new fund to support local young people with disabilities access the arts, that have made such a difference to his life.
