A weekend of stand-up comedy and films exploring the West’s tense new political atmosphere

Tickets: £8 adv / £10 doors

A night of pure, political, straight-shooting comedy exploring the West’s tense new political atmosphere presented by Fin Taylor. Rising to meet the challenge of these new times are:

Jamali Maddix, star of UK TV network ‘Viceland’ with his show ‘Hate Thy Neighbour’, where Jamali meets extremists from across the world. It’s been picked up in the US and Jamali is fresh off the back of appearances on Live At the Apollo and 8 out of 10 Cats here in the UK. 

Phil Wang has also appeared on Live At the Apollo as well as Have I Got News For You and Russell Howard’s stand-up central, and is currently enjoying a meteoric rise to the top of the UK comedy scene. We’ll be getting some juicy material from his new tour show, about globalisation and the Empire, from his perspective as a British-Malaysian. 

Fin Taylor is a former Bristol resident whose 2016 show took the Edinburgh Fringe by storm. ‘Whitey McWhiteface’ was a no-holds-barred look at white privilege, with 5 star reviews from The Scotsman and the Independent, ‘gleefully provocative and brutally funny’ said The Guardian. 

Fin is very excited to be be bringing two of his favourite comedians to The Cube for a weekend of crushingly relevant political stand-up.
