Lyme disease is a severe relapsing fever and the fastest growing tick-borne infection in the world. Our best, biggest and brightest comedians reckon it’s time to beat Lyme.
Proceeds from this massive comedy event, presented by The Laugh Stand, go to the Karl McManus Foundation to help research and fight the disease.
Headline: Steve Hughes
Internationally renowned stand up comedian Steve Hughes tells it like it is – confronting, alarming and always hilarious.

The inimitable ex-heavy metal drummer has been burning up the international circuit for the past 10 years, he has toured throughout Europe, Australia, USA, Canada & New Zealand to rave reviews and mutinous laughter.

“Hughes makes Armageddon seem like a proper laugh riot,” – Rolling Stone
