John Crace: What The Hell Just Happened?

19th September 2025

Show Time: 8pm

Price: £22.30


The last 10 years of British politics has been one long psychodrama. The Scottish referendum. David Cameron’s surprise election win. Brexit. Theresa May. Boris Johnson. Liz Truss. Rishi Sunak. Each prime minister worse than the last. Covid. Partygate. The UK’s politicians had rarely looked so clueless. Even with the new Labour government we are still rushing through several news cycles each day.

John Crace, the Guardian’s much loved political sketchwriter, has had a ringside seat at all the main events. Join him for an evening of high comedy as he tries to make sense of it all. Find out what the Queen’s last words to Liz Truss really were. This might just be the best therapy session you’ve ever had.


Doors open 30 minutes before the performance start time.

Age Recommendation: 16+ (under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian)

Approx Running Time: 2 hours, 10 minutes (with interval)
