What a fantastic fundraising night of comedy for Spear on Saturday night - the local homeless charity in Richmond, Merton and Wandsworth to get homeless people back to independent living.

And what a novel refreshing change for our GoodGym runners! It was most definitely not your typical mission...

A stellar line up of comedians provided first class entertainment to raise funds - Ed Night, Kerry Godliman and President Obonjo no less.

Backed up by a dream team from GoodGym groups all over London who ran the bar and the pizza kitchen which was busy all night long raising more funds for Spear! Carol from GG Lambeth and Rob from GG Barnet ran the bar like a landlord and landlady. Martel, Jess and Kate from GG Kingston and GG Richmond ran the pizza kitchen like trained chefs. And John from GG Camden, Jane and Simon were an eclectic mix of floor managers setting up the stage and theatre, security, and waiters and waitresses taking pizzas to guests in their seats!

All topped off by hearing some great comedy.

It was an awesome GG team and thank you SO much to those who crossed London to do it. I hope you all got home safely and weren't too shattered for the rest of your weekends.
