The Walk The Plank boat moored near Liverpool's Pier Head will be the venue for the exclusive show featuring graduates of Liverpool Comedy Trust's 'Stand Out' initiative. Juvenile jesters from across Merseyside have been honing their comic skills in preparation for this special Comic Relief show.

National comedian John Bishop will headline the evening with Rawhide's Stephanie Davies acting as compere.
Liverpool is famous for its comic heritage from old time radio and music hall stars like Arthur Askey and Tommy Handley through Ken Dodd and Jimmy Tarbuck to modern comedians like Lily Savage and Keith Carter. Now a new generation will be performing their acts to a world wide audience for this year's Comic Relief. The young comics have been working on Liverpool Comedy Trust's 'Stand Out' course which gives under 18s a chance to perfect and showcase their talent. Working with professional comedians the teenagers have been taught the fundamentals of stand up in workshops where they run through ideas and routines before showtime. Walk The Plank is an old Norwegian Ferry currently moored in the Albert Dock.
