TODAY an East Yorkshire born comedian is once again raising money for a domestic abuse charity on International Women's Day.

For the eighth year in a row, Pocklington-born Richard Herring is raising money for Refuge by answering a predictable question on his Twitter account Richard K Herring@Herring1967: “When is International Men’s Day?”

The comedian takes it upon himself to point out that the day does exist and falls on November 19.

 

As he does so, he is calling on his followers to donate to a Tiltify.com page raising money for the women’s charity.

Sadly this year will be his last fundraiser, but he's hoping to raise £50,000.
