GENEROUS GERVAIS DONATES SHOW PROCEEDS TO CANCER CHARITY

Comedian RICKY GERVAIS has donated the $400,000 (GBP200,000) proceeds from a stand-up performance in Scotland to a cancer charity.

The star was criticised recently for charging fans $75 (GBP37.50) to watch his show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival - but has given something back by staging a special gig at Edinburgh castle on Sunday (26Aug07), and handing over his profits to Macmillan Cancer Support.

The cause is one close to Gervais' heart - his mother Eva died of cancer six years ago (01).
