Watch comedian Mark Thomas tell award winning story at Theatre Royal Wakefield

The Theatre Royal Wakefield will be hosting comedian Mark Thomas at their next lockdown livestream next week.

Mark Thomas will be telling his true story of how Britain’s biggest arms manufacturer (BAE Systems) came to spy on a comedian in his performance 'Cuckooed'.

It's a tale of hubris, planes, demos and undercover deceit told by the award-winning performer. It is a personal and timely tale that tries to unearth what it means to be spied upon by a corporation under the sanction of the state.

The show won an Edinburgh Fringe First Award, the Amnesty Freedom of Expression Award and ran for a month off Broadway in New York.

Grab your tickets here and get ready to watch this fantastic performance on Thursday, October 22 7.30pm.

You can expect a live introduction from Mark, a recording of the performance and finally a live Q&A with Mark and guests after the show.

This livestream will be captioned and BSL interpreted.

Tickets are just £5 and by purchasing a ticket for this livestream, you will be supporting the theatre, as once again 20 per cent of the funds raised will be donated to Theatre Royal Wakefield.
