Frankie Boyles last appearance in a live format this year , and possibly the last time ever was rightly dedicated to the vast injustice and denial of basic Human Rights by the long neglected Palestinians.
Frankie Boyle himself organised the sell out fundraising show for the Palestine Legal Fund.As the blurb stated.You can get more details of the fund and its object from the Human Rights Legal Aid Fund website
"An all star line-up featuring Gary Tank Commander, Fred Macaulay, Susan Calman, Miles Jupp, Tom Stade and a special guest spot from Frankie Boyle in aid of the Palestine Legal Aid Fund (An unprecedented legal aid fund for Palestine, inspired by the successes of a similar fund during the South African anti-apartheid movement.)
The fund is dedicated to supporting Palestinians in accessing international justice, securing accountability and redress for human rights abuse. With stars of TV and radio lined up for the cause, this one-off show is sure to be one of the hottest tickets in the festival (and is currently scheduled to be Frankie’s only live appearance this year)."
It was good to see such a varied line-up and audience demographics supporting this very apt cause.
Here are two videos featuring Canadian funnyman Tom Stade and Scottish comic Fred MacAuley.
