Brexit and Comedy

On 31 January 2020, the UK will cease to be a member of the EU, and to reflect on this, we hosted a panel event looking at what Brexit has meant for comedians and satirists in the UK.
Is politics funnier now than it has ever been?
Speakers:
Nish Kumar, stand-up comedian and host of the BBC’s The Mash Report
Andy Zaltzman, comedian, author and co-creator of The Bugle podcast
Marina Hyde, Guardian columnist
Chair: Professor Anand Menon, director of The UK in a Changing Europe
