Jonathan Pie's live UK tour tackles Labour, Reform, Trump and AI. Age guidance 14+; restricted-view seats may miss the on-stage screen. Book tickets.
Jonathan Pie, the UK's angriest news reporter, returns with a brand-new live show touring the UK. Billed as a helpful and hilarious guide to surviving the impending apocalypse, the show covers Keir Starmer's Labour, Reform, Elon Musk, Trump, the far-right, the woke left, climate collapse, AI and the possibility of world war.
Pie is coming to terms with having voted Labour, only to face the reality of Keir Starmer's government. Reform waits in the wings, the far-right is on the march, and the woke left, in Pie's view, has yet to find its bearings. The material extends beyond domestic politics to take in Elon Musk, Trump, climate collapse, AI and the prospect of a third world war, all framed as a comic survival guide to the present moment.
The show carries an age guidance of 14 and above. Audience members seated in higher levels or in restricted-view positions should be aware that they may not have a full sightline to the on-stage screen used during the performance.
These are the dates listed by ATG as checked on 21 September 2026. A date range may contain selected performances, rather than a show every day. Open your chosen venue link for exact times, seats and current prices.
