After criticism that the 1987 event over‑emphasized music and the 1988 Festival of Youth concert proved a financial disaster, Amnesty International reverted to the comedy‑centric format that had succeeded from 1976 to 1981. Pat Duffy was removed from future benefit‑event duties, and producer Judith Holder was hired to organise the 1989 show.
