Satirical Mastermind Matt Forde To Tour UK From April 2026!

Co-creator of the revamped Spitting Image and one of Britain's sharpest political comedians, Matt Forde is searching for the positives in his new UK tour, kicking off in April 2026! Mixing his humorous analysis of the British political landscape and ruminations on his own health complications, Defying Calamity is a masterclass of finding both anger and comfort in disaster.

Matt Forde has made the daily misery of British politics into his playground. Apart from bringing back the satirical puppet show Spitting Image with renewed vigour, Forde has featured in the Royal Variety Performance and co-hosts the hugely popular British Scandal podcast. After going through extended difficulties with his health, Forde's stand-up has taken on a more optimistic bent, leaning into finding hope and humour in the darkest of places - and Defying Calamity is no exception.
