The worse the political career, the more lucrative the subsequent entertainment opportunities. Matt Hancock may have slaughtered millions but now he's making a killing. So can Rosie Holt's viral hit MP follow "politainers" Dorries, Farage and Rees-Mogg and leap from the pages of Hansard to Heat? After her sell-out Edinburgh show last year, Rosie returns to tightrope the thin line between politics and entertainment. 'The Thick of It levels of writing and performance applied to a very current flavour of political bullshit' (Times). 'Beautifully observed and performed' (Guardian). 'A character comedy treat' **** (Time Out).
