Mark Thomas combines his trademark mix of storytelling, stand-up, mischief and really, really well-researched material to examine how we have come to inhabit this divided wasteland that some of us call the United Kingdom. Based on his latest show, ’50 Things About Us’, and informed by his last acclaimed show on the NHS, Mark picks through the myths, historical facts and current figures leading us through critical times. It’s a show about money, history, the empire, guns, bungs, sods of soil and rich fuckers. And how we have so much feeling for such a conflicted land.
From self-deceptions on size, stature and space (clue: there’s more than enough for everyone if we lose the golf courses) to the living links between empire, slavery, money and power, this is Mark Thomas’ quest to remind us of the true and shared greatness of modern Britain.
Structured as a list of fifty crucial ‘Things’, and fresh from a lock-down spent interviewing hundreds of NHS workers for the Wellcome Collection permanent archive, this is Mark Thomas at his provocative, passionate best.
