The comedian was playing at The Gatehouse Theatre on Friday, three days after four children lost their lives in the blaze.

Riley Holt, eight, Keegan Unitt, six, Tilly Unitt, four, and Olly Unitt, three, were all killed in the blaze in Sycamore Lane, Highfields.

Their mother Natalie Unitt, aged 24, and her partner, 28-year-old Chris Moulton, survived the fire alongside two-year-old Jack.

A 24-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man were arrested in Stoke on Friday on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence after the fire and have since been bailed while investigations continue.

The fund has now topped £30,000 by more than 1,900 supporters in less than a week.
