**Ali Jay** is bringing a **Stand Up Sober Comedy Pride Fundraiser** to the **Ledward Centre** on **Thursday, August 3**, and raising funds for the **Brighton Rainbow Fund** to distribute as grants to local LGBTQ+ and HIV organisations and projects.

The **Ledward Centre** is at the forefront of a growing movement in providing social spaces for those that prefer a cafe environment, away from pubs and clubs.

Guests include: **AJ, Alice, Finn and Katie**, showcasing five-minute sets from the recent **Stand up Sober Comedy Course**; Brighton improv group **HONK**; south coast comedian of the year finalist, **James Danielewski**, whose show Rainbow Trout was a hit at this year’s Brighton Fringe 2023; and **Hannah Brackenbury**, winner of ‘Best Show’ at the **Funny Women Awards** **2019** and the **Broadway Baby Bobby Award** at **Brighton Fringe** 2018 for *Victorious* – a joyful and poignant musical tribute to the late, great **Victoria Wood**. Hannah recently wrote and produced her own eight-part musical web series called *Everything’s Fine*.
