Sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland is teaming up with leading Glasgow venue Oran Mor to present an evening of downright decadent comedy on Sunday 9th March at 8pm. The event is part of the Magners Glasgow International Comedy Festival and is headlined by award winning comedian, author and columnist Janey Godley and hosted by BAFTA award winning comedian Susan Calman. The line-up also features the multi-faceted comedy of Sandy Nelson with further acts to be announced.
This outstanding line up will be providing the laughs for no fee as all proceeds will go to support Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland.

Services include health promotion, community support for people living with HIV, welfare rights advice and a clinical testing service in Inverness. THT is also a campaigning organisation, with the goal of promoting a better understanding of the impact of HIV.
