BENEFIT FOR PIP-UK

Richard Stott has Poland syndrome, a rare birth defect that left him with no chest muscle on one side of his body and deformitie­s in his left hand. Now the comic is raising money for the charity that supports those with the condition. He’s joined by blind Scot Jamie Macdonald and ‘stand-up comedy’s fourth shortest comedian’, Jo Coffey, for an perspectiv­e-altering night of disability and identity. Sunday, ticketsour­ce.co.uk

ELIS AND JOHN: HOW’S YER WELSH?

Welshman Elis James (left) is joined by his BBC Radio 5 Live co-host John Robins for this celebratio­n of all things Welsh in honour of St David’s Day the following day. Expect top Welsh trivia, and, of course, copious mentions of Gareth Bale. A portion of sales go to the Standing Together Against Domestic Violence charity and Carmarthen youth drop-in centre Dr Mz. Sunday, dice.fm

COMEDY FOR THE CURIOUS: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGEN­CE

Science and comedy routinely make good bedfellows, and here they come together again for a clever lockdown show that raises titters and questions in equal measure. Host Robyn Perkins is joined by Nathan Caton and Harry Stachini (left) to discuss whether AI is friend or foe. They’ll have robots writing comedy listings soon. Sunday, laughtrain­home.com
