The fifth concert in aid of Target Ovarian Cancer in memory of comedian Linda Smith features a superb comedy line-up.

'I always look forward to this evening not only because it is guaranteed to be hilarious and fun, but it is a fitting tribute to my good friend Linda Smith and a great way of raising funds and awareness for one of the lesser known cancers that affects so many women in the UK' (Andy Hamilton)

'I'm really glad to be doing this, I knew Linda and she died far too young from a disease we all need to beat. Any awareness and funds we can raise on May 12th will be a step in the right direction' (Jenny Eclair)

'This is an amazing night of comedy with great comics and performers that you would rarely find all on one bill. As well as that you'll be raising money so that we don't lose more fantastic women like Linda Smith to ovarian cancer' (Jo Caulfield).

Dubbed 'funniest woman in Britain', she lives up to the title with razor-sharp wit, acerbic observations and scandalous one-liners, all excellently written and impeccably delivered. 'Sharp-witted, urban comedy that goes down a treat. Like a sociology textbook, but with jokes' (The Times). 'Incapable of doing a bad show, so sharp is her tongue and so in tandem is it with her mischievous mind' (The Scotsman) '... one of the finest female comics' (The Observer).
