Coming Over Here, Laughing At Our Jokes
It turns out all modern humour is descended from a single "your mum" joke that was born in Africa 9,000 years ago. Come and celebrate the movement of people and comedy across the world with Migrant Rights Network on 7 December.
Headlined by Stewart Lee with Nish Kumar, Richard Herring, Bridget Christie, Shappi Khorsandi, Henning Wehn, Ginger & Black, and Shazia Mirza all performing, many of them in spots that might otherwise have been given to hard-working, white, English comedians. (Some of the lineup may be white and English but only the immigrants qualify as hard-working). And in a rare and very special appearance, master of ceremonies Daniel Kitson.
All the performers are volunteering their time and any profits from the night will go to help Migrant Rights Network fight for better immigration policies and human rights for migrants, keeping this country fair, inclusive and tolerant.
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
