The Political Party with Matt Forde and Paul Nutall

Running Time: 2 hours approx with an interval

Matt Forde (as seen on Jon Richardson Grows Up, Have I Got News For You, 8 out of 10 Cats & This Week) hosts a comedy night combining topical stand-up and a big interview with a political heavyweight. A celebration of politics with “a first-class comic” (The Guardian).

Paul Nuttall is the deputy leader of UKIP and MEP for the North West. He is one of UKIP’s most recognisable faces, regularly defending the party on television. A chirpy character, Paul also holds provocative views. He is a climate change sceptic and is opposed to the construction of wind farms. He is in favour of banning the burqa in public places. 2014 was UKIP’s year, topping the poll in the European elections and winning 2 seats in Parliament. How will they fare in 2015? Will they be able to command widespread support in this year’s general election? These questions and many more will be put to Paul in what promises to be one of the most entertaining shows of the year.

An unashamed political fan, Matt had a career in politics before becoming a stand-up comedian, radio presenter and writer. As well as hosting his own show on talkSPORT he has appeared on The Now Show and The News Quiz. He also writes for 8 Out Of 10 Cats, The Last Leg, Stand Up For The Week and Russell Howard’s Good News.
