Politics, culture, sport, and international affairs will all come into the firing line as Hislop takes a look at what made the year unique, and uniquely humorous.
The Have I Got News For You star and Private Eye editor Hislop will, in his own indefatigable style, hold even the high and mighty to account with his razor sharp wit. He will not, however, be alone. With appearances from special guests including Harry Enfield (Men Behaving Badly, Skins, and Harry & Paul), Jan Ravens (Spitting Image, and Dead Ringers), and John Sessions (QI, and The Iron Lady), as well as Private Eye’s own Craig Brown, this dangerous cast of comedy mavericks is certain to strike a chord.
Reputedly the most sued man in English legal history, Hislop is rarely far from controversy so expect his outspoken views to be expressed readily and without fear. The mind behind Britain’s best-selling current affairs magazine will show just why Private Eye has become such a thorn in the side of those it deems guilty of incompetence, inefficiency, corruption, pomposity, or self-importance.
We are pleased to inform you that the talk will be followed by a book signing, giving ticketholders an opportunity to meet Ian Hislop for themselves. Whether you are a member of the unofficial Ian Hislop fan club, take an interest in current affairs, or you are just looking for a laugh, this event is a wonderful opportunity.
