US comedian Joan Rivers has promised to "make a fool of myself for the Prince's Trust" when she appears among a host of high-profile acts at the charity's comedy gala.
The show, which takes place at the Royal Albert Hall on November 28, will raise funds for the disadvantaged young people across the UK.
Rivers said: “I am thrilled at my age – three years after death – I am able to help disadvantaged young people get their lives back on track.”
The 79-year-old comedian asked: “Do they still behead people in London for being a smart ass?”
Other stars performing at the gala include Rowan Atkinson, Jimmy Carr, Miranda Hart, Stephen K Amos, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Omid Djalili, Milton Jones, Patrick Kielty, Helen Lederer, Jon Culshaw and E4 comedy trio The Midnight Beast.
Ben Elton, creative director of the show, will be hosting and there will be a contribution from Dame Edna Everage.
