A VENTRILQUIST from Cirencester is using his gift of the gab to raise funds for a brain tumour charity to honour a brave four year old who successfully fought the disease as a baby.

Kieran Powell is bringing his show 'Speak for Yourselves' to the town's Bingham Hall on Friday, October 5, to raise money for The Brain Tumour charity in honour of Myah Bell from Cirencester.

"Every year the family of Myah hold a fundraising event to give something back to charity in her honour. This year the family asked me if I could help and I decided to put on my entire show to raise money," Kieran said.

"I am involved in the Phoenix Revue panto and I met Myah when she came on stage during one of the pantos. She is such a flamboyant girl.

"She will be involved in my show a bit."

Kieran has toured his show all over the world and promises a fun show for everyone. "There is a lot of audience participation," he said "a lot of fun and giggles."

Friday, October 5

7.30pm.
