IF you spot a weary looking comedian wandering around Wellington, just point him in the direction of The Beambridge Inn.
Damian Kingsley is travelling penniless from Lands End to Edinburgh on a 120-comedy gig tour to raise money for the homeless charity Shelter.
Damian won’t be able to use any cash money or public transport, so he’s hoping to be given shelter, food and maybe a few lifts on the road to Edinburgh.
In return he’ll tell jokes to anyone, anywhere, from the Nag's Head to granny’s front room, only asking for the basic necessities that many people have to do without every day.
Damian said: “It so important we raise money and awareness for Shelter, and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to do this.
"I am as worried as I am excited about the Knock Knock tour, but my experience will obviously be no more than a small insight into what homeless people go through every day of their lives.”
The Beambridge Inn, Tuesday, April 19, at 8pm.
