The Power of Political Satire

Saturday 7th October 2017, 3.00pm-4.00pm

Antonin Artaud Theatre, Brunel University London, Uxbridge, UB8 3PH, UK

Celebrated satirical novelist Jonathan Coe (author of eleven novels, including The Rotters’ Club, What A Carve Up! and Number 11) and Sharon Lockyer (Director of the Centre for Comedy Studies Research) discuss the potent power of political comedy as a critique of the establishment, and its increasingly weaponized form taken up by politicians themselves.
