The Mock The Week regular formed an unlikely double act with Mitzvah Day founder Laura Marks. When he pointed out they were making masks from the armpit of a T-shirt, which “seems to be very much the wrong part”, Ms Marks piped back: “I hope you washed your T-shirt.”
Cockfosters and North Southgate Synagogue’s Rabbi Daniel Epstein and Mitzvah Day interfaith adviser Rabbi Jeff Berger were among the contributors.
Muslim social media activist and case worker for the homeless Mash Joy told the group he was “a great believer that when you do social action across different faiths, you realise that our basic humanity precedes our religious differences”.
TV doctor Ellie Cannon also took part with her daughter Lottie, who she was making a mask for. Dr Cannon said there was “no greater good deed you can do because we wear this type of face covering to protect other people”.
