Description

Join that gorgeous stand-up Simon Jay with a brand-new hour of comedy. They'll be offering hope to an embittered audience and practical advice on how to survive permacrises, culture wars, and what opinion you’re supposed to have on any of those hot button topics. More importantly, is there even a place to be an unapologetic, autistic, non-binary, left-wing, queer vegetarian who wants to tell unbelievably filthy jokes?
