Much loved comedy whip-cracker and political commentator Bridget Christie is back in Birmingham to ease our politically inspired woes with yet more of her straight talking, rabble rousing, blue-fit throwing energy. This time she’s got her sights and opinions firmly set on the EU and whilst many of us still sit in slack-jawed awe at the apparent lack of direction that taking the Leave route has left us with, Christie’s commentary is more than ready to do the dirty job of filling the social silences and unpacking all those empty promises. She also confidently promises that whether you voted in, out or simply shook it all about, her ‘despairing meltdown’ will speak for us all, or at least lighten the load a bit. At the rate Bridget Christie sold out last time she hit Birmingham in March, we’d advise you rouse yourself quickly to secure tickets for this one.
