Mark Thomas should need no introduction, the left wing rabble rousing comedian has been using his humour to poke around into the affairs of the establishment and annoy them for nigh on three decades. Our favourite stunt was having punk band Chaos UK playing live on the back of a lorry as it drove through a McDonald’s drive through. He brings the third part of a trilogy that began with ‘Bravo Figaro’ through ‘Cuckooed’ to new show ‘Red Shed’. In it Mark returns to where he first started to perform, a red wooden shed in Wakefield, the labour club, to celebrate its 50th birthday. The show will involve the audience (in a nice way) to recreate the shed and its inhabitants. Highly recommended.
