Live! 20 March! Not Yet Sold Out!!

- - - - - - - - - -

Big news! I've officially stepped *way* out of my comfort zone and signed up for Chuckles for Charity – the new comedy challenge from Sheffield Hospitals Charity!

Here’s the kicker: I have ZERO experience with comedy... none whatsoever! But with a lot of courage (and probably some terrible jokes along the way), I’m learning how to craft a routine to perform live on stage at the Leadmill on the 20th March.

I had the opportunity to do something similar around 15 years ago and completely bottled it, so this is an opportunity to redeem myself. I'm feeling much better about the whole thing, this time around. Honest.

Now, this is no small task, and I’ll be doing lots of training sessions over the next few weeks, so I’d love if you could support me by donating to my JustGiving page to help keep me motivated!

Additionally, I'm a bit low on material. So, if you've got any ideas, email them to ross@bravand.com and I'll see what I can do.

Every donation made and ticket sold will support Sheffield Hospitals Charity in helping people live better with dementia.

I don't have a direct connection to to dementia or Sheffield's NHS, yet. But I know I will do, at some point.

It’s estimated that 16,500 people in South Yorkshire are living with dementia. 12,460 of those are living with a diagnosis. Yet people living with dementia don’t always get the person-centred care that they need to live well.

Too many people are admitted to hospital for things that could be treated in the community. Carers can feel unsupported and overwhelmed. Although the NHS delivers incredible care, people living with dementia often feel overwhelmed and frightened when admitted to hospital.

Taking part in Chuckles for Charity is a way of helping the NHS in South Yorkshire to provide the best possible care, at the right time, for people living with dementia, their carers and loved ones – both in and out of hospital.
