Comedy and musical capers help out

Local actress and singer Miss Helen Watson is staging a night of comedy, music and variety at the South Wimbledon Club on Wednesday 19 October, in aid of The Blue Cross animal hospital.

The evening’s entertainment, titled Seasonal Sauce, promises to be an extravaganza of music hall style entertainment with just a hint of traditional sauce. Joining Helen, who has just finished filming Down to Earth for the BBC, will be her friends from London’s West End, television colleagues Howell Evans and Patricia Kane of Little Britain fame and Jim McManus from Don't Try this at Home.

Miss Watson says: “I have first hand experience of the wonderful work of The Blue Cross, so I am delighted to put on Seasonal Sauce in aid of the charity. It does such valuable work for animals and their owners, who otherwise might not be able to afford to own a pet.”

All proceeds from the show will go to the Blue Cross hospital in Merton, which provides veterinary care for people in the area that cannot afford private vets’ fees.

Tickets for the show are available from the hospital on Merton High Street or by phoning Lisa Tingley 020 7932 4071.
