Leading political comedian and satirist Matt Forde (British Scandal, Spitting Image, The Last Leg) makes this his personal mission.

★★★★★
‘Possibly the best political comedy show on the Fringe’
Telegraph

‘Our foremost satirical stand-up… Whatever your politics, you’ll find excellence here’
Sunday Times

‘Demand to see Forde in action at the Pleasance outstrips supply – the place is rammed…dependably slick’
Daily Telegraph
