A preview of the hilarious stand-up comedy Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023 has to offer!

Matt Forde
In 2019 alone, Matt Forde hosted the Alternative News Desk for Channel 4’s election night coverage, chaired the One Nation Conservative leadership hustings and debated Britain’s withdrawal from the EU with Tony Blair for the Institute of Global Change.
In his Political Party podcast, he interviewed guests ranging from Nicola Sturgeon, David Blunkett, Andrew Marr and Sadiq Khan to name a few.
