COMEDIAN Janey Godley's Soup Pot Tour raised almost £3000 for cancer research.

The Glasgow native was diagnosed with ovarian cancer while on tour and was unable to perform her shows at Theatre Royal.

Instead, it went ahead with her comedian friends, was hosted by her daughter, Ashley Storrie and proceeds went to the Beatson Cancer Charity.

The venue now revealed that the audience donated £2,693.95.
