Jonathan Pie, the irate news reporter comes to the Hammersmith Apollo for a night of blistering political stand-up.

Jonathan Pie is the comedy sensation who satirises the world of politics and the media. A frustrated news journalist best known for venting his spleen in unguarded 鈥渙ff-camera鈥 rants which have garnered him millions of fans worldwide, this satirical character鈥檚 second live show sees him attacking both sides of the political divide. From the Tories and Trump on the right to the permanently offended PC brigade on the left.

Pie鈥檚 career is in the doldrums. He鈥檚 fed-up of being 鈥渟tuck on street corners with a microphone like some sort of News hooker!鈥 But he believes he is destined for greatness and is attempting to get his new TV show, The Jonathan Pie Political Roadshow, commissioned by the 成人快手 by filming a 鈥榥on-to-air鈥 pilot. Pie attempts to host a night of serious political discussions about the effects of Tory cuts and Trump鈥檚 demented tweets but it soon descends into chaos when Pie inadvertently offends a member of the public.

As his frustrations boil over we are treated to a public meltdown (and twitterstorm) unlike anything you鈥檝e ever seen. As his career falls apart before his eyes, he betrays his leftie credentials and starts having a go at his own side: the 鈥淟oony Left鈥 and their obsession with taking offence and their chronic inability to debate.

Expect laughs and gasps in this show of biting satire that tears apart the world of politics and the media, from left to right and everything in between. Along the way Pie rips into our obsession with social media, our reluctance to engage with our political opponents and Donald Trump鈥檚 appalling spelling. The show is as hilarious as it is thought-provoking.
