Andy Parsons: Healing the Nation
Boris Johnson replaces Theresa May as PM. Show REWRITTEN.
The 2019 General Election happens. Show REWRITTEN again.
COVID-19 arrives – show REWRITTEN for the third time. So the 2019/2020 Healing the Nation Tour has become the 2019/2020/2021 Healing the Nation Tour, and as the tour has gone on, there’s been less and less healing and more and more of the opposite.
Admittedly, I could have changed the title but it still seemed strangely appropriate - and some of the gigs have been rescheduled so it would prove confusing to existing ticketholders if the ticket said 'Healing the Nation' but the show was now called 'My Life in Ballet'.
So, we have the serially rewritten Healing the Nation Tour 2019/2020 now extended into 2021, not so much due to popular demand but more lack of open venues. And with negative powers of healing. Yet this latest, very new version of the show is my favourite so far.

Omid Djalili - Namaste
The Persian Comedy Powerhouse performs his critically acclaimed new show.
Omid peacefully bows to his inner anger and unleashes a torrent of comedic vitriol upon the current state of this dangerously messed up planet.
No government gets a green card. No tyrant avoids a take down. No audience member leaves the theatre with an ounce of laughter left in them.
You have been warned.
'So hysterically funny and at the same time so poignant and powerful that calling it stand-up barely does it justice' Michael Levin, Huffington Post
With support from Boothby Graffoe.

Jonny & The Baptists: The Happiness Index/Ten Thankless Years
A double bill of two shows in one night, from cult multi-award winning musical-comedians Jonny & The Baptists.
A brand new hour of songs and stories about why we are (or are not) happy; and a retrospective of our first decade making riotous, satirical (and silly) “work”.
The Happiness Index
Are you happy? We can help! Five Prime Ministers ago, David Cameron started a happiness index to measure how joyful the people of this nation are. Which is ironic, given what he then did. Anyway, we’ve picked up the baton and now are trying to find out what the hell we should do with it. A new personal and political show about our desire, and the country’s struggle, to just be happy.
Ten Thankless Years
The country's absolute best (but not most popular) musical comedians present our greatest hits, from a decade of being wildly under-appreciated. After a sell-out, five-star run at Edinburgh Fringe 2023, we’ve understandably decided to take this cash-cow on the road.

'A proper belly-laugh show' ★★★★★ British Theatre Guide
'Wickedly funny' ★★★★ The Times
'Excellent, irresistible and winningly random' ★★★★ The Guardian
'You'll mainly leave feeling warm and fuzzy.... note perfect' ★★★★ Metro

Rosie Holt: That's Politainment!
The worse the political career, the more lucrative the subsequent entertainment opportunities.
Matt Hancock may have slaughtered millions but now he's making a killing. So can Rosie Holt's viral hit MP follow 'politainers' Dorries, Farage and Rees-Mogg and leap from the pages of Hansard to Heat?
Rosie enjoyed a hugely successful Edinburgh Fringe season last year. She now takes this brand-new show on the road, to tightrope walk the thin line between politics and entertainment.
Rosie is an acclaimed comedian, actor and satirist. Her popular videos on social media have achieved more than 6.5 million views.
She is the host of podcast Noncensored. She has been seen / heard on Sky Max's The Russell Howard Hour and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, DMs Are Open and Ashley Blaker 6.5 Children, among many other credits.
'The Thick of It levels of writing and performance applied to a very current flavour of political bullsh*t' The Times
'Beautifully observed and performed' The Guardian
‘A pinpoint portrayal of the personae manifesting our national psyche’ ★★★★ The Observer
'A character comedy treat' ★★★★ Time Out

Laura Smyth: Living My Best Life
Laura Smyth’s brand-new show explores all aspects of modern life. She has fun mugging off all the madness of parenting, childhood, school, marriage, social media, work and chasing her dreams.
In her own inimitable style, she gets to the truth of the human experience, treading the line between bluntness and warmth throughout.
Ultimately, she is asking how ‘living your best life’ is actually achieved – heads up: it don’t involve Instagram! Laura is a star of BBC's Live at the Apollo. She comes to Norden Farm fresh from tour support for Jack Whitehall and Michelle de Swarte. This is Laura at her uncensored and ridiculous best.
