Google Vladimir McTavishAbout Vladimir McTavish
Vladimir McTavish, Scottish Comedy Award-winner, delivers a scathing attack on global politics in this 60-minute stand-up show. Covering Greenland under threat, climate change, war in the Middle East and the rise of Reform UK, McTavish turns a turbulent year into sharp satirical comedy. When a camera stuck up his nose led to three months of chemotherapy, more was added to the story. This is emphatically not another show about cancer. Suitable for ages 16 and over, with strong language throughout.
Why see this show?
Sharp political satire from a Scottish Comedy Award-winner who has turned a genuinely difficult personal year into comedy without sentimentality. Expect a scathing, unsparing take on a world that has gone badly wrong.
