Ding-dong the witch is back! Multi award-winning Fringe sensation Margaret Thatcher, Queen of Soho presents the most fabulous game show of all. Fresh from total sell-out Edinburgh Festival Fringe runs in 2014 and 2015, the Iron Lady has now set her sights on light entertainment. Join Maggie as she makes audience members compete for their golden giro cheque. There'll be songs, games and of course... catchphrases! 'So much fun Theresa May will probably outlaw it' (Chortle.co.uk). ***** (Attitude.co.uk). 'Glorious camp with political punch' **** (Times). 'Dame Edna has an unlikely rival' **** (Telegraph).
