Line Up :

Mark Thomas : Gaffa Tapes  ( Work in Progress / Edfringe Preview)
Don't miss chance to see South London and the UK's finest political comedian , none other than the legendary Mark Thomas warming up for Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Mark Thomas is widely recognized as one of the boldest and the most uncompromising comedians in the last thirty years, who has had no qualms in combining comedy with political activism.

Probably best known for the political stunts as performed on his cult Channel 4 show, The Mark Thomas Comedy Product , cult BBC Radio comedy show The Mary Whitehouse Experience , BBC Radio 4 Manifesto shows and his many award winning touring theatre shows. Mark won 8 awards for performing, 3 for human rights work and 1 he invented for himself.

"Oh for God’s sake. I have done this for 38 years. A career full of the usual stuff, telly, awards, radio. Also court cases, sacked politicians and Guinness Book of World Records certificates. You either like me or you don’t. If you don’t know what I do, ask an old person. I rant, tell jokes, sing some songs, swear a lot and urge the audience to join the comedic equivalent of the Red Army Faction. Basically don’t come if you’re a Tory unless you actually want to be a hostage. Everyone else welcome. Everyone else loved."

“Thomas is a terrific performer and raconteur, and he has the gift of making an instant community out of a group of strangers.” – The Guardian

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

Rosie Holt: That's Politainment!  ( Work in Progress / Edfringe Preview)
The worse the political career, the more lucrative the subsequent entertainment opportunities. Matt Hancock may have slaughtered millions but now he's making a killing. So can Rosie Holt's viral hit MP follow "politainers" Dorries, Farage and Rees-Mogg and leap from the pages of Hansard to Heat? After her sell-out Edinburgh show last year, Rosie returns to tightrope the thin line between politics and entertainment. 'The Thick of It levels of writing and performance applied to a very current flavour of political bullshit' (Times). 'Beautifully observed and performed' (Guardian). 'A character comedy treat' **** (Time Out).
