Ray Romano will be leading an ensemble of comedians at the ninth annual Comedy for a Cure event.

According to Extra, the project has raised over $1.5m (£976,085) for tuberous sclerosis programmes, services and research.

The sickness is a genetic disorder that causes potentially fatal tumours to form on children's vital organs.

Other celebrity attendees include Larry Miller, Buzz Aldrin, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Vincent Gallo, Melina Kanakaredes, Tim Daly and Leeza Gibbons.

Romano's Everybody Loves Raymond co-star Patricia Heaton is to host the April 11 event.
