Severe Lacerations to Head

Political comedy at it's very best. Hilarious and clever as hell.

This is all a bit f**ked. We should talk about it. An hour of satire from Have I Got News For You writer and award-winning comedian Kate Smurthwaite on the state of the world and the world of the state. Why is this happening, is there anything we can do and what, if anything, remains? To be clear about the title…This is a show about genocide and fascism. The stuff about traumatic brain injury is just there for light relief.
