Leading political comedian and satirist Matt Forde embarks on a mission to find joy amid global political turmoil, the rising tide of populism, and his own ongoing health challenges, several years on from a bone cancer diagnosis. Known for appearances on The Royal Variety Performance, Spitting Image, and HIGNFY, Forde delivers an hour of impressions, gags and reflections flying the flag for satire. The show follows his biggest tour yet and a second series of The Matt Forde Focus Group on BBC Radio 4.
