Read full details
Mark Thomas brings his 40th anniversary tour to Hull, celebrating four decades of politically charged stand-up. Known for his anarchic style and investigative stunts, Thomas rose to fame on Channel 4's *The Mark Thomas Comedy Product*, where he turned comedy into a tool for activism—once forcing a change in inheritance tax law after targeting a Conservative MP.
Expect an evening of sharp, topical humour mixed with storytelling and audience interaction. Thomas's shows blend stand-up with political commentary, often involving live discussions and stunts that blur the line between comedy and protest. His libertarian anarchist perspective ensures a thought-provoking, irreverent night out.
This milestone tour reflects on his career from early radio appearances to becoming a fixture of UK political comedy. Fans can anticipate classic routines alongside new material, delivered with the same confrontational energy that has defined his work for 40 years.
