Comedian Kerry Godliman headlines Bo Carter’s Fashion Loves Comedy show in Leeds
Leeds fashion designer Bo Carter is bringing her ground-breaking Fashion Loves Comedy venture back to her home city with a show that combines a catwalk with gags, as comedians strut the runway wearing her designs.
Stitches takes place on Thursday, December 5, at Left Bank, a Grade II-listed former church that is now a hub for creativity, culture, and community.
“We're thrilled to announce that the incredible Kerry Godliman will be headlining the show,” says Bo, founder of Fashion Loves Comedy, which kicked off earlier this year in London with shows starring Jenny Eclair and dozens of established and up-and-coming comedians.
Actor and comedian Kerry has also appeared in TV roles in Derek, Bad Move, and After Life.
The Leeds event will feature a heady mix of local talent, including designers, graduates and students from Leeds Arts University, with performances from local comedians and well-known stars.
Local artists and students will exhibit their work and all proceeds will support Choose Love, a charity providing aid to refugees and displaced people around the world. From rescue boats to legal support, Choose Love offers vital services to those in need.
