This anti-cuts comedy featuring sketches, songs and stand-up is touring the north-east in the run-up to May 7.
Written by Ed Waugh, it’s a show described as “a cross between The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and Citizen Smith with a bit of Russell Brand hoyed in.”
The Accidental Activist is about how comedian Johnny Snowball (Russell Floyd) wants an easy life but, confronted by more government austerity measures, reluctantly enters the battle to fight the cuts.
Underpinning the humour, the show asks a big question: how is it that in one of the richest countries globally, hard-working people are being forced to rely on mushrooming foodbanks, inadequate housing, dehumanising zero-hour working and young people with no future? With Rachel Adamson and Sammy Dobson.
Also touring Durham, South Shields and Sunderland until May 2
