Manchester, 04 November 2025: Human Appeal, one of the UK’s leading humanitarian charities, has announced the return of its hugely popular Winter Comedy Tour in the UK for the eleventh consecutive year, promising laughter, community spirit, and life-changing impact for two of its emergency appeals.
The largest of its kind comedy tour with shows now across the UK, US and Canada, the Comedy Tour will run in the UK from 12th December to 31st December. With 20 shows across the UK, the Human Appeal Comedy Tour brings together some of the world’s top international comedians for an unmissable night of stand-up, all in aid of supporting orphans and vital humanitarian work amid the ongoing emergency in Gaza.
This year’s star-studded line-up features fan favourites from the UK like Aatif Nawaz, writer and star of BBC 3 comedy Muzlamic, who joins the Comedy Tour for his 8th consecutive year; Tez Ilyas, star of the BBC 3 comedy Man Like Mobeen; Ali Official, YouTube and TV presenter; and both from the USA, Azhar Usman, best known as one third of comedy trio Allah Made Me Funny and who starred in the original streaming series for Disney+, Ms Marvel; and Jeremy McLellan, whose international appeal is evident through sold-out tours across the US, Canada, the UK, and Pakistan.
Early Bird tickets start at just £8, with family bundles and trio deals making it an affordable, feel-good night out for everyone.
Razwan Fraz, Associate Director of Fundraising at Human Appeal, adds, “We believe laughter is a powerful way to bring people together and inspire hope. Our Winter Comedy Tour has become a much-loved tradition for eleven years that lets communities enjoy an incredible night out while making a real difference to children and families who need our help the most. It’s a night of joy that leaves a lasting impact long after the laughter ends and we are proud to see it become an international success story.”
