Speaking in April at the time he announced the show, Mr Djalili said: "I was in Spain filming at the time, and the only English-speaking channel in my hotel room was all about the earthquake, and it was shocking.

"It's always poor people who get hurt by those things. These are the ones who bear the brunt of these natural disasters. But it’s not God, it’s us, human beings, making cheap buildings and poor people die. 

"The least we can do in the West is fundraise, especially in Ipswich, where we have a lot of Turkish and Syrian refugees. 

"We are not only holding a special night for them with some top acts and top talents coming to sing, perform, and do comedy, but we also want to encourage the refugee communities to join us. 

Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start at The Regent, with tickets costing £30. 

This event is sponsored by fleximize, DPL Group, SMART (Garden Rooms, Offices and Studios), tru7group, Friel and Palmer & Partners.
