Johnson satirised in new socialist comedy show

A COMEDY show “aimed at socialists” will use stand-up comedy, sketches, poems and songs to satirise Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Boris Out! will be performed in Newcastle in November and an additional performance has been added to meet popular demand. 

Organiser Les Robson said: “Like all politicians Boris Johnson is ripe for parody. 

“He has done at least 25 U-turns in the last 18 months and to paraphrase MP Dawn Butler, considering Johnson is a Tory, he is very liberal with the truth.”
 
The show will involve a cast of 16 professional performers from the region.  
 
Mr Robson added: “The sketches are hilarious. I think it’s important to hold politicians to account, especially these days. 
 
“Sadly, the only opposition to Boris Johnson has come from professional footballers and the anti-racism organisations.
 
“It’s a show aimed at socialists so Tories, racists and royalists should give it a miss. It’ll be like Spitting Image, except it’ll be funny.”
 
Boris Out! will be performed at Tyneside Irish Centre in Gallowgate on Sunday, November 14. Tickets cost £10 and can be purchased from boris.out.eventbrite.
