Because You Demanded It

Archived show

This show is from a previous year's festival

Because a posh man told them to, the people of the UK have voted to leave the EU, even though no-one had a plan for what would happen if it did. As a result of not having a plan, the UK has gone to sh*t economically, socially and politically. If you didn’t want to leave the EU, or you did, but now don’t, because everything’s gone to sh*t, then this is absolutely the show for you. If you did want to leave the EU you will still find it funny, but for different reasons, as you witness the liberal comedian’s exasperated and despairing meltdown.

Brand new show from multi-award winning stand-up, author and columnist Bridget Christie.
