Stourbridge date for comedian Matt Forde
The Black Country and Staffordshire will be treated to a lot of loffs next year when comedian Matt Forde comes to town.
Following a completely sold-out and critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the star of Unspun is set to embark on a nationwide tour with his stand-up show Brexit Through The Gift Shop.
Speaking about the current political buzzword, he said: "The whole thing’s a mess and only one person can sort it out. Sadly, I have no idea who."
A former advisor to the Labour Party, Britain's 'leading political comedian' Matt has hosted four series of Unspun on Dave. The highly topical political comedy chat received a nomination for the Best Entertainment Programme Broadcast Digital Award this year, following a nomination for the same award last year.
In the lead up to the 2017 General Election, Matt was a regular guest on the One Show, commenting on the best and most bizarre moments of the campaign trail. He also presents Absolute Radio’s weekly Rock n Roll Football Show and has appeared on such political and satirical heavyweights as Have I Got News For You (BBC One), The Royal Variety Performance (ITV), Mock The Week (BBC Two), Rory Bremner’s Coalition Report and Rory Bremner’s Election Report (BBC Two), Question Time (BBC One), This Week (BBC One), Newsnight (BBC Two) and Daily Politics (BBC Two).
Matt’s London show-turned-podcast, The Political Party, has been a sell-out during its monthly residency at Westminster’s The Other Palace for nearly six years.
Matt Forde will be at Stourbridge Town Hall on March 1, starting at 8pm. He then plays at Stafford's Gatehouse Theatre's MET Studio on March 8.
