Join veterans of political comedy, Josie Long, Grace Petrie and Jonny & the Baptists for an evening of music, comedy and revolutionary socialism in the Anson Rooms this April. After two sell out tours in 2017-2018 Lefty Scum returns with fresh new songs and reflections on the contemporary state of British politics, but predictably the same political views! 

Firstly, we have Grace Petrie, the critically acclaimed protest musician and a previous guest star on radio 4’s The Now Show, engages audiences with her wonderfully witty humour and songs about forgotten Labour Party politicians.

Then there is the captivating Josie Long is described by the guardian as one of the most potent political voices on the comedy circuit today, started performing as a stand-up comic at the age of fourteen and won the BBC New Comedy Awards at 17. She is longstanding Edinburgh Festival favourite full of wry wit and satire, Josie is guaranteed to make you laugh!

Finally, we have the musical duo Jonny & the Baptists, full of satire and hilarity, they have made many TV and radio appearances including the Gadget Show on Channel Five and Sketchorama on BBC Radio 4. 

The Guardian asks if Lefty Scum can change the world with their funny songs, and delivers this naturally glowing review of Lefty Scum >> https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/nov/02/lefty-scum-josie-long-and-the-protest-jokers-jonny-and-the-baptists while the Telegraph asks if Josie Long can ‘please stop grumbling’ and describes Jonny and the Baptists as ‘distasteful’.
