The Crutched Friar - Martin's fundraiser for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)

Martin Short is raising money for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)

Head and beard shave during lunch rush at The Crutched Friar · 27 August 2026

Stonegate Group are joining the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) in their movement against suicide, the leading cause of death for 125 people every week in the UK and the single biggest killer of men under 50 and young people in the UK.

Story

On 27th of August Martin is doing something bold, slightly chaotic, and definitely unforgettable — shaving his head and beard in the middle of a busy lunch rush at The Crutched Friar to raise money for charity.

No stage. No quiet corner. Just clippers, courage, and a pub full of lunchtime guests watching the transformation happen live.

We’re raising money for an incredible cause, and every donation — big or small — genuinely makes a difference.

If Martin is willing to sacrifice the beard in public, we reckon it’s worth throwing a few quid towards.

Come down, cheer him on, laugh with us (not at him… mostly), and help us turn one dramatic shave into something truly meaningful.
