A look back at For Helen and Barry: A Politely Raucous Night of Comedy and Music. A night where comedians, poets and musicians came together to play a benefit gig to raise money to help campaigning American comedian Barry Crimmins, whose wife Helen is currently undergoing treatment for cancer, and children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent. The event took place October 23rd 2017, New Wimbledon Theatre, London.
