Matt Forde
After enduring what he thought was sciatica during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Matt Forde (Spitting Image, HIGNFY, British Scandal) was diagnosed with cancer. A few weeks later he was having the base of his spine removed.
But just 12 months on, the leading political comedian and satirist announces his biggest tour to date with his new stand-up show The End of An Era Tour, ahead of a month-long run at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 31st July – 25th August at 8pm at Pleasance Beyond. From 2nd October 2024 to 12th March 2025, Forde is set to tour theatres nationwide including London’s Leicester Square Theatre on 10th October, following the UK’s recently elected new government after 14 years and in tandem with the US election. Tickets are on general sale now.
The tour news coincides with Matt recently undertaking a hugely ambitious challenge: attempting to interview a candidate from all 650 constituencies before UK polling day on the 4th of July. These interviews are featured on his hit podcast, The Political Party, which started releasing episodes daily from 3rd June.
