The creme de la creme of British comedy joined together for a charity bash to raise money for their peers who have fallen on hard times.

The Best Of British Comedy was in aid of The Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund.

The table hosts were a mixture of some of Britain's finest comedy actors, writers and stand-up comedians that spanned the genres of classic British comedy.

Amanda Barrie, George Layton, Andi Osho, and Jarred Christmas all attended the event.
