Stand-up star and Parliamentary hopeful Al Murray will be joined by an all-star cast of other top entertainers when he hosts a fund-raiser at Colston Hall, to help secure the future of the city’s annual Slapstick festival.

Sarah Millican, Phil Hammond, Harry Hill, Omid Djalili and Holly Walsh have already agreed to take part in the latest Stand Up For Slapstick benefit night.

The show is being put on to contribute towards the nearly £100k costs of staging what is now the world’s biggest celebration of silent and vintage screen comedy, held each January in Bristol since 2005 and this year attracting an audience of 5,000+.

This June Easton will blossom into a glittering hub of creative arts, crafts, cooking, music, and knitting. People will take to the streets, be welcomed into artists’ homes, sample new dishes and home-made cakes, try alternative healing, be amazed by installations, and generally celebrate the energy of this vibrant neighbourhood.

The open houses and venues will open around 11am and close around 6pm on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th June 2015.

Easton Arts Trail is organised by volunteers from the local community who work hard throughout the year to coordinate this annual event that celebrates the quality and diversity of the creative talent in Easton.
