Finally, the UK has a new government. That can only mean one thing: new people to take the mick out of.

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”★★★★★ The Telegraph

“our foremost satirical stand-up…Whatever your politics, you’ll find excellence here” The Sunday Times

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

“the excellent Matt Forde…even more accurate than Starmer’s needling voice” The Spectator
