Comedians Stephen Fry and Joe Lycett and actor Mawaan Rizwan have joined in a race to raise tens of thousands of pounds to open the UK's first community-run queer venue.

Campaigners need to raise nearly 30,000 in the next four days to hit their 100,000 target and keep alive hopes of reviving the Joiners Arms, a famous east London gay institution.
