August 03, 2009
Some of the performers at the Malcolm Hardee Awards charity show on Friday 28th August have been revealed, with more to follow. Much like Malcolm's shows, there will be something old, something new, something blue.
Brendon Burns
Charlie Chuck
Aindrias de Staic
John Hegley
Richard Herring
Phil Kay
Otto Kuhnle
Laura Lexx
Mr Methane
Simon Munnery
Frank & Nancy Sanazi
Henning Wehn
The world's only performing farteur Mr Methane, will be coming up to the Fringe solely to appear on the show and will be performing a part of his act which he has never shown on TV or on video. His recent appearance on "Britain's Got Talent" got over 2 million hits on YouTube.
The show will also include newcomer Laura Lexx (a finalist in the Chortle Student Comedy Awards on Tuesday 25th)... plus a rare teaming of Frank Sanazi (sings like Sinatra; looks like Hitler) with Nancy Sanazi... The current masterplan is for them to lead the audience in a rousing rendition of "Jack Boots Are Made For Walking".
More Name performers to be announced soon.
The show will also, of course, include the presentation of the annual Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality and the new annual Cunning Stunt Award for best publicity stunt at the Fringe.

All profits from the show will go to the Children With AIDs Charity - www.cwac.org - a registered charity set up in the UK in 1992. Patrons include Christopher Biggins, Annabel Croft, Maureen Lipman, George Michael, Esther Rantzen, Dame Diana Rigg and Terry Waite. The money will go specifically to Mama Biashara (´Business Mother´), a small project in the slums of Nairobi which helps HIV+ mothers and their children by micro-financing and supporting small businesses for the women, making them financially independent.
The show is produced by John Fleming, whose TV credits include Tiswas, Game For a Laugh, Surprise Surprise, The Last Resort With Jonathan Ross and Jack Dee's Saturday Night... and TV producer/presenter and doyenne of Fringe comedy critics Kate Copstick.
