Re: Libel Reform Comedy Gig

Dear Friends,
We’re grabbing this chance while we have a quiet 10 minutes to give you a bit of advance notice of the biggest, most important, and hopefully the funniest, event in the libel campaign so far this year.
Later on today we are going to publicly announce ‘The Big Libel Gig’ when some of the biggest names in UK comedy, science and human rights will be sharing a stage to tell us that England’s libel laws are unjust, against the public interest and need to be reformed. ‘The Big Libel Gig’ is at the Palace Theatre in London’s West End at 7.30 pm on Sunday 14th March 2010.
There will be a very eclectic line-up of famous names including Dara Ó Briain, Robin Ince, Tim Minchin, Shappi Khorsandi, Marcus Brigstocke, Ed Byrne, Professor Brian Cox and Professor Richard Wiseman.
The Big Libel Gig will also include a chance to hear from Drs Ben Goldacre, Simon Singh and Peter Wilmshurst, who have all felt the full force of England’s libel laws. They’ll talk frankly about how the libel laws have affected them personally.
This is a one-off benefit event to raise money for the libel reform campaign being run by the Coalition for Libel Reform, established by the charities Index on Censorship, English PEN and Sense About Science. If you can’t make the gig, other ways to support the campaign include donating through the dedicated JustGiving page www.justgiving.com/libelreform or email donate@libelreform.org for more information.
Tickets are now on sale from www.seetickets.com/see/event.asp?e|artist=the+big+libel+gig&filler1=see&f iller2=BLG, at the theatre’s Box Office in person and by telephone on 0844 4124657. This has not yet been announced publicly, so beat the rush, buy the best seats in the house and support libel reform.
We look forward to seeing you at the campaign’s most important, funny, thought-provoking and staggering event of the year so far.
Best
Mike & Síle
The Libel Reform Coalition
