HHR Chairman Mark Oldfield said: “Thanks to his appearances and success on Britain’s Got Talent, Jonny Awsum is one of the best known names on the current comedy circuit.

“We are thrilled that he is coming to The Knox next Thursday and helping to raise funds for us. This is going to be a fantastic evening, and those attending will get to see the show that Jonny will be performing this summer in Edinburgh.

“I would like to thank The Knox for choosing Harrogate Hospital Radio as the recipient of the proceeds of the evening, which promises to be absolutely ‘Awsum’!

“Each year we have to raise in excess of £4,000 in order just to stand still. With Jonny’s help we really hope that we will be laughing all the way to the bank!”
