Martin Rowson

In this entertaining and unapologetic talk, award winning cartoonist Martin Rowson takes us on a romp through a 32,000 year history of visual satire, the life and work of William Hogarth and the power of giving and taking offence. Along the way he will expose the techniques, practice and purpose of caricature.

The evening is copiously illustrated with images from the Stone Age, then via the 18th century to Martin's own 30-year career as a professional cartoonist for, at one point or another, almost every national daily newspaper.

Martin is widely acknowledged as one of the UK's leading cartoonists and political satirists. His style is visceral and offensive. Be prepared to be shocked, enlightened and thoroughly entertained.

Age advice 16+. Not for the easily offended.
