Mark Thomas attempts to answer some of the more pressing questions about the state we are in. Is Britain the new Iceland? If we own a couple of banks can we lend ourselves money and use their phones to call Australia? And what on earth is a “derivative” and is it possible to use the word without also mentioning “Keane” and “Travis”?

“A human time bomb who mixes comedy with old fashioned investigative journalism…very funny, irrepressible and devilishly clever.” THE IRISH TIMES

“Thomas the polemicist deploys the comedian’s eye for a situation’s dark absurdities.” GUARDIAN

“Intelligent, impassioned, informed anger is a comedy tool and Thomas uses it like a master craftsman.” THE SCOTSMAN
