Mark Thomas: 50 Things About Us

Date: Friday, Jan 24 2020 - Saturday, Jan 25 2020
Venue: Tobacco Factory Theatres

In his new show 50 Things About Us, legendary comic / activist 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.
