2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Andy Zaltzman: Satirist for Hire (World of 2017 Special Edition)
Zaltzman, host of legendary podcast The Bugle, delivers satire on commission, as ordered by you, the public, in his unique interactive show. Email your satiricoquery in advance (via satiristforhire.com), and Zaltzman will satirise your political gripe or personal peeve. In a planet that appears to be losing its collective marbles, Zaltzman will butter your hot potato to order and then serve it back to you in the form of a freshly-hewn, individually-tailored comedic concoction. 'Political satire at its most enjoyable' (Times). 'Master satirist' (Time Out). @ZaltzCricket @hellobuglers
