The Lisa Richards AgencyProfessional company

The government wants to ban under-16s from social media, but is it really that bad? Having been raised by the internet, Belfast comic William Thompson ponders if other generations should do the same – or if they should go outside and touch grass. The new hour-long show from William Thompson (LazyBoyz, Tea With Me, Channel 4) features Thompson's trademark dark, punchy style tackling the subject of social media. 'Fluid delivery' (Chortle.co.uk). 'A natural on stage' (Comedy.co.uk).
