Mark Thomas returns to pure man-and-mic stand-up comedy with his trademark evangelical zeal. Down to earth, angry and playful. From the picket lines of today to the Music Halls of old, Black And White absolutely rocks.


Hi-de-hi darlings - welcome back. Expect creative fun from one of our oldest surviving alternative comics. Taking down politicians. Mucking about. New ideas and finding hope. This award-winning comedian (is there any other type?) asks how did we get here? What are we going to do about it? Who's up for a sing-song? After lockdowns and isolation this show is about the simple act of being in a room together and toppling international capitalism. 'You'll leave recommitted to the fight against this appalling authoritarian government, to keep that tradition alive' (Guardian, 2021).
