60 minutesBack Lounge
Harun has read the memoirs of Cameron, May, Truss, Dorries, Hancock and Johnson, so you don’t have to. He will read out the worst parts and fact check them. You will then laugh at how stupid these people are. That’s the show. It’s the worst idea for a show that Harun has ever had because, to research the show, he had to read the memoirs of Cameron, May, Truss, Dorries, Hancock and Johnson. **** (Lancaster Guardian). ‘Excellent show’ (FringeReview.co.uk). ‘Provocative’ (Chortle.co.uk). ‘Smart’ (Scotsman).
