Natalie O'Donoghue, Broadway World, 12th July 2016Joe Wells: Edinburgh Fringe 2016 interview

Joe Wells is another young figure leading the way in this vital niche of the stand-up world, and his subject this year is painfully relevant considering recent events. For Joe's show is called 10 Things I Hate About UKIP, and we're sure he'll mention the result of a certain referendum in there somewhere.
