A VARIETY show of music and comedy is raising money for the children's hospice Demelza House. The show, called Step Up To The Mic ... is staged by Skimp Productions, at Eltham's Holy Trinity Church.

The church may not be as regular worshippers might recognise it, as it will be transformed into a festive cabaret-style venue complete with candle-lit tables for the audience.

Meanwhile the church hall is being turned into a bar with doors opening early for pre-show drinks.

The show features a full evening's entertainment of music and comedy.

Sketches are inspired by the likes of Catherine Tate and Victoria Wood, while a wide variety of song and dance routines range from disco to Phantom of the Opera.

Step up to the Mic , November 30 to December 3, Holy Trinity Church, Southend Crescent, Eltham, 7.30pm (doors 6.30pm), tickets £8, 0845 490 0173 or visit skimp-productions.co.uk
