ANDY ZALTZMAN: SATIRIST FOR HIRE
Andy started The Bugle podcast in 2007, alongside John Oliver, and it has become one of the most successful comedy news podcasts in the world. Now he brings his irreverent brand of satire to Chorley with an interactive stand-up show. Audiences are invited to submit topics, issues and miscellaneous gripes in advance so Andy can deal with pedantic peeves and political hot potatoes in his own unique way.
Please submit an advance satirical commission on any topic in our increasingly ridiculous universe, to satirisethis@satiristforhire.com. Please include the date of the show you will be attending, plus details of the issue/person/concept/thing you would like Andy to satirise, and any relevant supporting material if you feel so inclined.

LUKE KEMPNER: MACHO MACHO MAN
Modern pop culture is skewered by impressionist Luke, as he struggles to fit in with modern life. With help from famous voices including Michael McIntyre, Elmo, Ant & Dec, Jo Wicks and the entire cast of Downton Abbey, Luke navigates his way through 2021.
This remarkable one-man show is from one of Britain’s most exciting new talents, as seen/heard on Spitting Image, Steph’s Packed Lunch and The Now Show.
