ThreeWeeks, 15th August 2016Seven questions with... Mark Thomas
Summarised as "part theatre, part stand up, part journalism, part activism", Mark Thomas' latest show The Red Shed is the final instalment of a trilogy of critically acclaimed shows (Bravo Figaro, followed by Cuckooed), which sees him return to a labour club in Wakefield, a place Thomas credits for aiding him in developing his political conscience, as well as his public speaking skills. The satirical television show The Mark Thomas Comedy Product ran for six series, and is a prime example of the comic's passion for influential socialist comedy that encourages action, thus showing the importance of comedy for social development.
