WORRIED about your job? Worried about your family? Worried about yourself? Worried about the health service? Education? Climate change? World War 3? Worried about worrying all the time? Sod it! Come and have a laugh about it.

Dorset-born comedian Andy Parsons is at Winchester Theatre Royal tonight with his “Peak Bullsh*t” tour because, he says, laughing is what we do best. Or is it? Was it something we did best but like everything else has now gone West. Or South. Or East?

Whatever your thoughts he invites you to "put on your lucky pants and your party shoes – and get yourself on a night out. Or maybe come out dressed in a binbag, top hat and clogs. We could all use a laugh."

Any Parsons is 'As seen on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, Q.I. etc. - and repeated on Dave. As also seen on BBC’s Question Time, Daily Politics, This Week and Newsnight.'

Andy also presents a hugely entertaining, topical monthly podcast, The Slacktivist Action Group. Recorded at London’s Soho Theatre, he talks to high profile politicians, journalists and comedians about the state of the nation. November’s show included Labour MP Chuka Umunna, Mirror journalist Fleet Street Fox and Henning Wehn

Certainly we live in interesting times – so thank goodness for Andy Parsons, a comic who can make sense of what's happening at home and abroad, and make us laugh about it.

“2016 will be remembered for the EU referendum and Donald Trump and Boris Johnson and Michael Gove,” Andy says. “So if I have to summarise the show, it's asking has the world gone mad, what it means to British in 2017, what it means to be a patriot - and is it true that we only like immigrants if they can win us gold medals at the Olympics? We're not keen for people to sneak into a Britain on a dinghy – unless they can paddle it very quickly”

He'll also be musing about the role of satirists in the world, when most political comics were in favour of Remain in the EU referendum and supported Hillary Clinton in the US presidential election. Is it a good time to be a satirist?

“You could argue it's the worst time to be a satirist because events of 2016 have proved that what satirists say has no effect whatsoever on the general public. Satirists should be arguing for World War 3 and an increase in bankers' bonuses on the grounds that, then, they are much less likely to happen.”
