Comedian Greg Davies honours Shropshire charity pledge
It may have taken more than a year to happen, but Shropshire's Greg Davies has come good on a promise to support the charity campaign of a former town mayor.
The Inbetweeners star, who grew up and went to school in Wem, performed a final, one-off performance of his The Back of my Mum's Head tour at Shrewsbury's Theatre Severn.
The event raised cash for Severn Hospice and the Shropshire branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
The 45-year-old told the audience last year's mayor of Wem Peter Broomhall had approached him about doing something to raise cash for his two charities.
Last night's gig was sold out months in advance and Davies, who singled out Mr Broomhall in the crowd for praise, said: "Peter Broomhall asked me if I could do something when he was mayor to support his charities, but I have been so ludicrously busy that when I finally had time to help he was no longer mayor.
