About the show
This stand-up comedy show from Matt Hobs, presented by Free Festival at Hollywood, explores the collision between the worlds of humans and badgers.

The show runs for 60 minutes and is for audiences aged 16 and over. Tickets are £5.
Why see this show?
Matt Hobs makes badgers genuinely compelling — a stand-up show where the science, storytelling and punchlines are all doing their job at once. Unexpectedly gripping.
