Joe Lycett, Lou Sanders, Pippa Evans and comedy trio Pappy's will also perform, as star of BBC Three Crims Ellis James compères at the West End's Palace Theatre on 23 February. The highly rated Laughing Point gig in October last year was a sell-out thanks to a stellar line up including Daniel Kitson, Stewart Lee and Katherine Ryan.

Laughing Point stalwart Josh Widdicombe said: "It is an honour to be doing a gig for a charity as brilliant and worthwhile as Centrepoint. It is a great bill and so I am a little annoyed I am performing as I would love to be in the audience."

Centrepoint works with 8,400 homeless 16-25 year-olds each year, providing not only a safe place to stay but also the vital support needed to tackle physical and mental health problems, access education or employment and learn vital life skills.

Richard Utting, Head of Events at Centrepoint, said: "It's fantastic to see so many exciting young comedians taking to the stage for us alongside some big names like Josh Widdicombe, Miles Jupp and Sara Pascoe.

"It's going to be a great evening of entertainment which will ensure homeless young people have the support they need to turn their lives around. We expect tickets to go fast, so grab your friends, family and colleagues and join us." 

Tickets are priced from £8.50 - £31.00. The show starts at 7.30 pm. To buy tickets visit: http://nimaxtheatres.com/palace-theatre/centrepoint_laughing_point or call 0844-482-9676.

The full Laughing Point line up is: Josh Widdicombe, Sara Pascoe, Joe Lycett, Lou Sanders, Pippa Evans and Pappys. The compère is Elis James.
