Mark Thomas: 50 Things About Us (work in progress)

Date: Tuesday, Dec 3 2019
Time: 8:00pm
Venue: The Comedy Box at the Hen & Chicken Studio

In his new show 50 Things About Us, Mark Thomas combines his trademark mix of storytelling, standup, mischief and really, really well researched material to examine how we have come to inhabit this divided wasteland that some of us call the United Kingdom.

Mark picks through the myths, facts and figures of our national identities to ask: who do we think we are?

It is a show about money, history, songs, gongs, wigs, unicorns, guns, bungs, sods of soil and rich fuckers.
