Comedian Milton Jones (pictured above), king of the one-liners, will headline a show this month to raise funds for a Torah Scroll in memory of his friend Julian Young, a solicitor-advocate and Arsenal supporter who died in 2021.

Young, who qualified in 1977, was a consultant solicitor at national firm Tuckers and four-time president of the West London Law Society. The London Criminal Courts Solicitors’ Association described him as a ‘long-term stalwart’ of the criminal defence community.

Jones will take the stage at Upstairs at the Gatehouse in Highgate, north London, on 9 July. The event, compèred by comedian Sol Bernstein, will feature Josh Howie and Andrea Hubert, and a raffle with special prizes. Ticket sales will go towards the £40,000 needed for a Torah Scroll that will be inscribed in Young’s memory and kept in the only synagogue in Islington, the home of Arsenal.
