2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Joe Wells: I Hope I Die Before I Start Voting Conservative
If you're feeling Stewart Lee's absence at the Fringe this year, try this clever, funny hour on how ageing impacts a person's political views. It's thoughtful comedy with some big laughs.
Received opinion says that we become more right-wing as we get older. Joe Wells (support for Frankie Boyle and Alexei Sayle) is determined to grow up without selling out. Joe's third solo stand-up hour after the critically acclaimed Night of The Living Tories and 10 Things I Hate About UKIP. 'Some of the most surprising and thought-provoking material coming from any comedian' (Guardian). 'Recommended' (Heat). **** (BroadwayBaby.com). **** (Chortle.co.uk). Writer for Have I Got News For You (BBC One) and The Revolution Will Be Televised (BBC Three).
