MARK THOMAS – UK TOUR 2004
The most thrilling live performance you are ever likely to see *****” The Guardian

This is a show with fizz” Evening Standard
“The comedy world would be far less exciting without him. No other comic has the same terrier like tenacity when it comes to rooting out stories likely to embarrass those in power” The Sunday Telegraph
“If comedy could ever be described as necessary, this is it” The Observer
Following his last two sell out tours Mark has been busy annoying people. His new show is about crusties, hijacking arms dealers and ending up in the dock. Again. And just to make sure the lawyers don’t get an easy ride the Coca Cola Company come in for a special kind of probing.

Mark is a comedian who believes in action. The 2001 tour became part of the campaign to stop British involvement in the Ilisu Dam, two thirds of the way through the tour Balfour Beatty pulled out of the project. In 2003, along with CND and Campaign Against the Arms Trade, he tried to get the UK government into court over the use of UN resolutions to go to war. The show became a hilarious running commentary on that action and on the Bush Blair alliance
