It has been announced that Mischief are supporting Central London Samaritans to bring smiles and laughter to people across their hit comedy shows on stage and screen as part of Samaritans Brew Monday campaign.

Whilst the third Monday in January is sometimes referred to as ‘the most difficult day of the year’, Samaritans Brew Monday hopes to highlight that there’s no such thing as ‘Blue Monday’ as people can feel a range of emotions any day of the year. Brew Monday encourages people to reach out to someone they care about for a cuppa and a catch up.

Today, volunteers from Central London Samaritans and some of the Mischief team will be offering tea and coffee at The Theatre Cafe, with donations going to Central London Samaritans while volunteers will be there to talk about the importance of reaching out and providing listening tips.

Alongside audience donations at West End Theatres, an on-demand fundraising re-stream of The Wizard of Paddington Station from their internationally successful improvised movie series Mischief Movie Night In, will be available to re-stream until 31 January. A 48 hour on-demand re-stream pass can be purchased for £7.50 here with all profits donated to Samaritans. To thank Samaritans volunteers for the incredible time they give, Mischief have invited over 400 to see either of their hit West End comedies The Play That Goes Wrong or Magic Goes Wrong.

Mischief Company Director, Jonathan Sayer, said: “We are all absolutely delighted that Mischief is supporting Central London Samaritans this January for their Brew Monday campaign, helping to put smiles on people’s faces. Samaritans is a charity that has been helping so many people for such a long time, even more so after the past two years, so we really encourage everyone to sit down with a cuppa and have a chat and a laugh with their loved ones.”
