Human Appeal: Winter Comedy Tour - featuring stars of hit BBC shows - coming to Dewsbury this weekend

Human Appeal, one of the UK’s leading humanitarian charities, has announced the return of its hugely popular Winter Comedy Tour in the UK for the eleventh consecutive year - and Dewsbury is one of the stops!

The largest of its kind comedy tour with shows now across the UK, US and Canada, the laughter and fun arrives in Dewsbury at the Signature Banquet, on Grove Street, WF13 1JP, on Sunday, December 14.

The tour will run in the UK from December 12 to December 31 and will bring together some of the world’s top international comedians for an unmissable night of stand-up, all in aid of supporting orphans and vital humanitarian work amid the ongoing emergency in Gaza.

This year’s star-studded line-up features fan favourites from the UK like Aatif Nawaz, writer and star of BBC 3 comedy Muzlamic, who joins the Comedy Tour for his eighth consecutive year; Tez Ilyas, star of the BBC 3 comedy Man Like Mobeen; Ali Official, YouTube and TV presenter; and both from the USA, Azhar Usman, best known as one third of comedy trio Allah Made Me Funny and who starred in the original streaming series for Disney+, Ms Marvel; and Jeremy McLellan, who has had sold-out tours across the US, Canada, the UK, and Pakistan.

Early Bird tickets start at just £8.

Razwan Fraz, Associate Director of Fundraising at Human Appeal, said: “We believe laughter is a powerful way to bring people together and inspire hope.

“Our Winter Comedy Tour has become a much-loved tradition for eleven years that lets communities enjoy an incredible night out while making a real difference to children and families who need our help the most.

“It’s a night of joy that leaves a lasting impact long after the laughter ends and we are proud to see it become an international success story.”

The 2025 Comedy Tour will take place in Dewsbury on Sunday, December 14.
