Four Jewish comedy stars are to put on a special performance in tribute to a 22-year-old graduate who is battling cancer.

Joshua Lerner had just finished a chemistry masters degree last year when he was diagnosed with life-threatening Hodgkin lymphoma.

His reaction was to start writing a blog about his treatment.

He said: “It has been a rough year. I started my blog as a bit of an escape and I’ve had over 65,000 visitors to it since I was diagnosed in October. I think it is important to find the humour in all situations and that is how I write.”
