Summary

In the first live show of 2026 we delve deep with the audience in the hall and on the live stream. We go back decades for much needed context and dare to look ahead, and White Van Man Andy makes a guest appearance. 

The next live show at Kings Place is on May 11th, days after the elections, and will be even more epic than this show.  You can get tickets here.
