Mark Thomas celebrates 40 years at the mic. In that time, he has changed laws on tax, jailed arms dealers, kickstarted a comedy circuit in Palestine, given evidence before three Parliamentary select committees and taken the police to court three times and won. The world’s moving too fast to predict what the content will be. Expect a taster menu of government and personal mayhem, jokes, rants and a personal state of the nation broadcast. Join Mark as he tries to turn 'what the f*ck is going on' into a cogent hour of stand-up.
