About the Show
When Rishi Sunak stunned the nation by calling an early election, I teamed up with Joe Venable to write and produce an election spoof musical! The whole thing was conceived and put together in the 5 weeks leading up to election week, and we then did a week’s run from 2 – 6 July 2024 at London’s Waterloo East Theatre, receiving great reviews and feedback from audiences!
