A preview of the hilarious stand-up comedy Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023 has to offer!
In 2019 alone, Matt Forde hosted the Alternative News Desk for Channel 4’s election night coverage, chaired the One Nation Conservative leadership hustings and debated Britain’s withdrawal from the EU with Tony Blair for the Institute of Global Change.
In his Political Party podcast, he interviewed guests ranging from Nicola Sturgeon, David Blunkett, Andrew Marr and Sadiq Khan to name a few. The Political Party enjoyed a sold-out monthly residency at Westminster’s The Other Palace for nearly six years and has since moved to a fortnightly residency at The Duchess Theatre in London’s West End.
The podcast has amassed over 6 million downloads, and nominations for Best Comedy Podcast from the British Podcast Awards and the Internet Award at the Chortle Awards.
Joining Matt on the night is Bella Hull, a stand-up comedian and writer based in London, and one of the UK’s most exciting young comics.
Bella regularly plays to sell-out crowds across the UK and recently made her television debut on the BBC’s Stand Up for Live Comedy. She recently performed at the Utrecht International Comedy Festival and her writing has been featured on BBC Radio 4’s Newsjack, Flux Magazine and she is the advice columnist for Quadra magazine.
