Daliso Chaponda: Topical Storm

Embankment Rd, Peterborough, PE1 1EF

This show is for over 14's only. ID may be required at the door.
Description

Daliso Chaponda has been writing jokes about the news for over a decade - on Have I Got News For You, Radio 4's News Quiz, Australia’s Good News Week and many more besides. (In fact he’s seen the news from both sides, having been in the tabloids himself.) But recently the news has been so absurd, chaotic and overwhelming that it more or less mocks itself. Where do we go from here?

Topical Storm is Daliso’s response. A show not about THE news but about news itself. Journalists, bloggers, fake news, satirical news: have we lost the thread of it all? Is the reporting of news endlessly polarising us as a society rather than educating us? Would we be better off going right back to the first ever news bulletin - the original caveman drawing on a wall – and starting from scratch? Daliso does just that in this explosive new standup show.

★★★★ "Full of sharp one-liners and well crafted gags…a real talent" - Metro

"Gets laughs out of topics other comedians shun" - The Guardian
