A new pub will be openings its doors to the peninsula on Friday, starting with a comedic quiz night.
The Covid Arms, run by 'landlady' Kiri Pritchard-Mclean and her host of celebrity guests; Russell Howard, Nish Kumar, Jon Richardson, Joel Dommett, Marcus Brigstocke, Rachel Parris, Lucy Beaumont, Jenny Ryan, Joe Wilkinson, Richard Osman, Rachel Fairburn, Mark Watson, Stephen Bailey and Suzi Ruffel for a night in at the world's largest virtual pub.
Punters can get up and personal with the comedians for a £10 ticket, or you join in the live streaming for just £2, with all details on the Covid Arms' Crowdfunder page.
You will receive an email with a link to the show and your unique password, which can only be used once so be careful not to share it, then all you have to do is pour yourself a drink and get laughing.
The event will take place on Friday 1st May 2020 at 8pm, and organisers warn strong language may be used and this may not be suitable for children.
When the doors swing open at The Covid Arms you'll be greeted by the formidable landlady, double Chortle Award winner, Kiri Pritchard-McLean.
It's her pub, she calls the shots and Friday is quiz night. To help host the night, Kiri will be joined by a group of fellow celebrities - including the likes of Russell Howard, Nish Kumar and The Chase's Jenny Ryan - who are no strangers to quiz shows.
There will be mystery guests (who will be hosting the music round?), quick-fire rounds, a live leaderboard and prizes. At any minute you may be joined live in your front room, so make sure to wear your best 'staying in' gear.
Although the idea is to raise money for The National Emergencies Trust Coronavirus Appeal there is also a way you can donate to your local pub if they sign up to Crowdfunder too.
The intensity of emergencies in 2017 – from the terrorist attacks in Manchester and London to Grenfell – led the Charity Commission to convene a number of people in the charitable sector to see if there was a better way of responding to national emergencies. This has led to the creation of the National Emergencies Trust, which will collaborate with charities and other bodies to raise and distribute money and support victims at the time of a domestic disaster.
It is a charity, not the state; it will be additional to what the state does. It is independent of government, and will not seek to replicate the work of central or local government. The world is in a state of emergency. The outbreak of coronavirus is affecting both businesses and people from across the globe. Many people are suffering, not just physically due to ill health, but also economically and socially. Workers are struggling to make ends meet, small, local businesses are closing their doors, and social distancing and self-isolation means people aren't able to visit vulnerable loved ones. The Government is responding to alleviate some of this pressure. However, at times like this, it's the strength and desire to help from the public that can make the most difference.
