The Politics Show
We felt that there was a shortage of good Political Satire around at the moment, so we decided to rectify that by bringing the best satire together under one roof.
If you like your comedy with a Political edge you will LOVE this show!
Featuring this week are:-
Alan Francis, "the beautifully observed performances captures all the manic ambivalence of a Hello Magazine culture." THE TIMES; "Acutely observed character monologues…sardonic wit at its best. GO SEE" THE LIST. Benjamin Crellin, One of New Zealand's top international comedians.
With eighteen televised stand-up performances and four nominations for his countries highest comedy award he is a nine-year veteran of the industry. Robert White, ‘a funny and brave act that exists in the hitherto unmapped space between the music hall comedies of Noel Gay, and autistic savantism’ Timeout, 'However, the evening belonged to the precociously talented Robert White. With his quickfire wit and relentless energy reminiscent of Lee Evans, he had the audience in the palm of his hand. This very gifted young man is surely destined for great things, and justifiably so.' By Courtney King, Brighton Argus July 2008 , ‘Robert White, probably – no definitely – the only asperger (socially autistic), dyslexic, cross lateral, gay, quarter-welsh, ex-con, webbed toed comedian the circuit’ The Guardian. David Mulholland, "biting punch-lines and irreverent humour" Three Weeks.
