Royal Variety Performance – Entertainment Artistes Benevollent Fund
Each year a member of the Royal family attend the Royal Variety Performance. This is a special show where artistes from all sections of entertainment, dance – music – Variety – stage shows and circus contribute their acts and time to raise for a very worthy cause. The cause is to care for the elderly retired entertainers that have given so much but are now cared for at Brinsworth House, Twickenham. The first Royal Variety Performance was staged in 1912. I do feel that academics who write and profit from the past hard work of performers may consider donating to this great charity cause.
