Mark Thomas

Red Shed is the third part in a trilogy that started with the multi-award-winning shows Bravo Figaro and Cuckooed.

Comedian and campaigner Mark Thomas returns to the place where he first started to perform in public: a red wooden shed in Wakefield, the Labour Club, to celebrate the club’s 50th birthday. Interviewing old friends and comrades, he pieces together the club’s history and works with it to campaign with some of the poorest workers in the country for their rights.

It’s the story of the battle for hope and the survival of a community in a small wooden shed. Part theatre, part stand-up, part journalism, part activism the show returns to Mark’s obsessions of community and struggle and will involve the audience (in a nice way) to help recreate the shed and its inhabitants.
