Mark Thomas Comedy Product

On Thursday we went to the Dancehouse Theatre on Oxford Road, Manchester (opposite the BBC) to see comedian Mark Thomas. On approaching the venue there seemed to be a polling booth set up in the downstairs lobby, this was not in fact some stunt/ploy.. but a genuine polling booth!

The premise of the tour is that at each gig, the audience submits manifestos that are then read out and voted on, with Mark trying to make some of them a reality in the future.



There was also photos and anecdotes about recent protests held, including one outside Hazel Blears' house that day. They were also handing out various leaflets etc at the merch stall including a Stop & Search card, which is for any unfortunate person who gets stopped and searched under the new ridiculous anti-terrorism laws...

The night was just so funny, I haven't laughed that hard in ages, who would've thought politics could be so entertaining?
Now time to buy the book...
