Mike Daisey to Join Mark Thomas for Post-Show Discussion at CUCKOOED

Monologist Mike Daisey joins comedian Mark Thomas for a post-show discussion immediately following Thomas' Wednesday, November 18 performance of CUCKOOED. The two activists and solo performers will discus topical comedy and activism.

CUCKOOED is Mark Thomas' Fringe First Award-winning comedy of betrayal. Thomas discovered his close friend and fellow activist was a mole for BAE Systems, Britain's biggest arms dealer, who had been hired to spy on Thomas and other activists. Called "a clever, funny and angry show" by The Guardian, this outrageous tale, which won Amnesty International's Freedom of Expression Award, upends our notions of trust as Thomas unearths the ultimate deception.

CUCKOOED comes to New York from the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh and The Tricycle Theatre in London, where it played to sold out houses.

Produced by All for One, CUCKOOED is written and performed by Mark Thomas and directed byEmma Callander, and runs through Saturday, November 21. The performance schedule isTuesday - Thursday at 7:15 PM; Friday at 8:15 PM; Saturday at 2:15 PM & 8:15 PM; andSunday at 3:15 PM. Performances are at 59E59 Theaters (59 East 59th Street, between Park and Madison Avenues). Tickets are $35 ($24.50 for 59E59 Members).
