GLASGOW comic Raymond Mearns will perform at a special charity event today.

Organised by property advisers Speirs Gumley, the afternoon of comedy for staff and guests will launch their charity partnership with Cancer Research UK.

It will raise money for their Stand Up To Cancer campaign, which aims to raise awareness and funds for the charity.

The event will also feature Viv Gee, a finalist in BBC1's New Stand Up, Highlight Comedy Club New Act winner Scott Gibson and Scottish Comedian of the Year 2011 Jamie Dalgleish.

Speirs Gumley marketing director Bryan McManus said: "We held a similar event last year which was a really fun afternoon for the staff and guests and we raised an amazing £3000 for the charity."
