Sean Hughes review
Perrier Comedy Award winner Sean Hughes approached the end of his Mumbo Jumbo tour as he visited The Old Fire Station Venue in Carlisle. His political satire combined with middle aged hindsight was fused with a humorous ad-lib candour delivered in what seemed to be an off the cuff comedic show.

James Kettle, The Guardian, 9th October 2015Review - Sean Hughes Mumbo Jumbo
