On Sunday (29 October 2017), the West End’s eighth annual star-studded fundraiser, West End Bares, raised over a stunning £50,000 for The Make A Difference Trust, with celebrity hosts including Graham Norton, Mark Gatiss, Adam Garcia, Tom Allen and Summer Strallen.
Promising a night of Lions and Tigers and Bares (oh my!), an extraordinary night at West End Bares: Ruby Strippers saw over 100 of the hottest performers from the West End stage take to the stage to combine the naughtiness of burlesque with the magic of the West End. Witness the results for yourself with the photos above.

Audiences joined the much-loved characters of Oz for the cheekiest night in the Theatreland diary at the Novello Theatre, in an evening which also featured performances from the Olivier Award-winning Rebecca Trehearn (Show Boat) and Mark Anderson (currently starring in The Toxic Avenger).
And their exploits certainly proved a success, with the huge total of money raised all going to The Make A Difference Trust to fund HIV and AIDS projects that raise awareness, educate and provide care and support in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa. A full amount will be announced in due course.
Anybody who still wishes to donate can do so on the Make A Difference Trust website.
