★★★★★ "A superbly observed, lightning speed, incandescent critique of UK and world politics" - THE RECS

 

Expect creative fun from one of our oldest surviving alternative comics.

Taking down politicians. Mucking about. New ideas and finding HOPE. This award-winning comedian (is there any other type?) asks how did we get here? What are we going to do about it? Who’s up for a sing song? After lockdowns and isolation this show is about the simple act of being in a room together and toppling international capitalism.

You’ll leave recommitted to the fight against this appalling authoritarian government, to keep that tradition alive.” Guardian 2021
