Amazing how seemingly shallow celebrities can get involved in this kind of thing for free. Everyone was very funny (some funnier than others: Bill Bailey, Lee Evans and Omid Djalili particularly impressive) and I am certain that it raised a lot of important money for the Tsunami charity.
Despite the reason for the evening, there was not the sombre mood you might expect, and the light-heartedness paid off. The comedians did their material in a lively mood (except the trademark cynics like Dylan Moran, Jack Dee and Jo Brand), and the combination of musical comedy from Bill Bailey and Rich Hall, impressions from Jon Culshaw and Alaistair McGowan, mind tricks from Derren Brown and stand-up worked excellently, making sure that the audience was never bored.
