No Laughing Matter – Talking UK Politics with Parliamentary Sketch Writer John Crace

How does Satire shape Politics? And vice versa? Can humour be the right way to deal with what feels like an increasingly absurd world and the frustration with politics?

Join us on December 13, from 13:00 to 14:00 in the E-Hall, for an exclusive interview with John Crace, the Guardian’s parliamentary sketch writer and author.

For over a decade, Crace has turned the absurdity of Westminster politics into biting humour and sharp commentary. We’ll explore his journey from overcoming heroin addiction to becoming one of the UK’s most influential commentators, how he finds humour in chaos, and whether he misses the “good content” days of the Tories.

As media reliability declines and populism rises, what’s next for political satire and its role in holding politicians accountable? Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Crace’s reflections on UK politics, satire, and the future of sketch writing.
