Theatre | Jonathan Pie: Fake News – Southampton, Hampshire
Sat 19th Oct | Tickets: £17.50 – £24.50
In the age of utter political turmoil, thank goodness for someone who just takes the p*ss: Jonathan Pie. He’s the exasperated news reporter commenting on the increasingly ridiculous news’ agenda.
His videos have been seen across the world. His previous two tours have taken in venues such as the Hammersmith Apollo and the London Palladium and performances across the US and Australia. During this tour, he’ll be performing exclusive material that will say what the country has been thinking. Thank fxk.
