Severe Lacerations to Head | Kate Smurthwaite

This is all a bit f*cked.
We should talk about it

A new hour of raw satire from one of the UK's sharpest political comedy minds. On the state of the world and the world of the state.
(To be clear about the title…This is a show about genocide and fascism. The stuff about traumatic brain injury is just there for light relief.)
