Mark Thomas: Black & White
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.
“He’s like John Pilger with laughs…those who have a concern for human rights and social justice will be informed, enraged and – because Thomas retains his stand-up skills – entertained…he’s got a nice line in self-deprecation, in mocking his own presumption to pronounce on human rights. So the gig never feels like a harangue. Thomas the polemicist deploys the comedian’s eye for a situation’s dark absurdities Moving and inspiring…as gripping as any live performance you will see.” ***** (FIVE STARS) The Guardian
