The annual Powerful Women and Men Perform for Charity show was staged in front of a packed National Indoor Sports Centre last Sunday. The event is now a well-sought-after calendar item but many of the performances were far too long for persons who had to start the workweek in a matter of hours.

Here are highlights of some of the more entertaining performers.
