The Royal Variety Performance takes place every year, either in London or in a theatre around the country. The event is in aid of the Royal Variety Charity, of which Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was Patron throughout her reign. The money raised from the show helps hundreds of entertainers in the UK who need help and assistance as a result of old age, ill-health, or challenging times.
