Defying Calamity – 2026 Tour

In his biggest live tour to date leading political comedian Matt Forde (The Royal Variety Performance, Spitting Image, HIGNFY, British Scandal) finds positivity in life despite all the evidence to the contrary in politics and his own health.

'The most topically incisive impersonator on the block... It's laugh-a-minute stuff, underpinned by the kind of wisdom and natural resilience our leaders could learn from. He was always impressive, but he deserves his inevitable standing-ovation as never before' ★★★★★

Daily Telegraph

“A first-class comic”

The Guardian

'Flying the flag for satire... a meaty hour of impressions, gags and reflections... so much to admire here' ★★★★★

Mail On Sunday

'Our foremost satirical stand-up... whatever your politics, you'll find excellence here'

Sunday Times

'Possibly the best political comedy show on the Fringe'

Telegraph

'Forde is as gratifyingly sane as comedians come... smart, funny ideas'

Times
