James Sherwood looks immoderately pleased in this photo because Julia Lyford of Northumberland has just made the first bid in his piano auction.

The award-winning musical comedian is selling off the piano he is using in his Edinburgh Fringe show with any profit made going to the charity of the buyer's choice. It's a chance for someone to take home the ultimate souvenir, support charity and enjoy a musical comedy feast - all in the same hour.

To watch James and the piano in action see his show One Man and His Piano, 7pm at the GRV (until 29th August).

If you would like to bid for the piano email James via: james@sherwoodcomedy.com
