• Secret Porter's Ball

  April 2010
  On the 24th of April, The Secret Porter’s Ball is coming to a union near you, and the words on most people’s lips are… what’s that? Well, does the Secret Policeman’s Ball ring any bells? If not, think Eddie Izzard, Russell Brand, Jo Brand, Russell Howard, Ed Byrne, a million other incredible comedians and a night of seriously belly-aching laughter. Not hooked? There’s more. The Secret Policeman’s Ball is a fundraising event for human rights organisation Amnesty International run by CUAI, a tradition started four decades ago by the likes of Cambridge alumnus John Cleese in 1979. CUAI and the Union now bring this incredible event back to Cambridge with a special local twist. With talent stretching from the fresh up and coming present day Footlights to those alumni who have now made it the big, and including diverse acts such as sell-out Cambridge boyband BluePrint, the event will bring together student performers alongside former Footlights stars and other friends of Amnesty. Whilst raising money in a hilarious and enjoyable fashion, we will use our own freedom of speech to support those who are denied a voice around the world. What could be a more fitting venue than Cambridge’s most prestigious forum of free speech.

• FACE Fashion Show

  April 2009
  The show will present ethical fashion at its best, speakers and comedians from the world of corporate responsibility and fashion, short, informative films, music and dance. We want to show Cambridge what an enormous range of incredible ethical brands there are available across a broad budget spectrum, from high fashion to high street brands right down to vintage items from local charity shops and market stalls. Our message is that every day, we make a choice between supporting a business which exploits human beings and a business that doesn’t; we have a responsibility, as consumers, to make the right choice. http://www.cuamnestyfashionshow.com/
