Exeter Phoenix, Gandy Street, Exeter, Devon, EX4 3LS

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.
