FOLLOWING a total sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run once again, one of comedy’s elder statesmen and all round arty mischief maker continues his eighth nationwide tour, Cuckooed.
Mark Thomas tells his true story of how Britain’s biggest arms manufacturer, BAE Systems, came to spy on a comedian in this five star, multi-ward winning, critically acclaimed tale of hubris, planes, demos and undercover deceit.
In 2012, Mark’s first ever one-man theatre piece, Bravo Figaro, a touching and poignant tale first commissioned by the Royal Opera House about his opera-loving father which sold out its entire Fringe run, won Mark a Herald Angel award, a Scotsman Fringe First, and was recently broadcast on Radio 4.
Marks shows have always been entirely different from each other; he’s stopped arms deals, created a manifesto and brought the winning policy to parliament, walked the entire length of the Israeli wall in the West Bank and most recently completed 100 Acts of Minor Dissent, which included taking the police to court over surveillance and finding a new definition for ‘Farage’.
Mark Thomas is coming to the Strode Theatre in Street tomorrow (Friday) – tickets are available on 01458-442846.
