Famous stand-ups line up to support refugees with comedy fundraiser

THE Scottish Refugee Council has announced the starry line-up for its No Borders Comedy Night fundraiser.

The stand-ups slated to hit the stage are Frankie Boyle, Josie Long, Stephen Buchanan, Susie McCabe and Jin Hao Li.

Mark Nelson will be taking on hosting duties for the fun-filled evening.

Taking place at the Glee Club in Glasgow, all proceeds from the show will go towards supporting the work of Scottish Refugee Council.

Frankie Boyle said he was "really looking forward" to taking to the stage and showing solidarity with refugees.

Stephen Buchanan said refugee and asylum issues were causes ‘close to his heart.’ He said: “It's a charity that does lots of amazing and extremely important work. My mum has taken in a few refugees over the years so it's a cause that is close to my heart.”

Jin Hao Li added: “Scotland has given me a home away from home when I was an international student, and I hope this welcoming space can be that for others too.”

Josie Long said: “I am so glad to be able to help support and welcome refugees in Scotland. I can’t wait for this gig.”

Tickets can be bought via this link from 10am on Friday 7th July.

Where: Glee Club, Glasgow

When: 7.30pm, 8th October
