The Treason Show

Composed of a succession of satirical sketches, this festival special of The Treason Show ridicules all the supposedly powerful members of this planet. In so doing, it also highlights the ridiculousness of the many institutions we humans have worldwide.

nobody was safe in this relentless comedic arena

From political powerhouses such as Donald Trump and David Cameron to reality stars like the Kardashians, nobody was safe in this relentless comedic arena. There were even instances where the dead were ridiculed. However, dark humour was only one of many forms of comedy deployed within this production that made it accessible to everyone.

The opening song in which the issue of the EU referendum was raised, was one example of the many occasions in which cultural stereotypes were pushed to the limit, and sometimes, humorously far beyond. From the extreme meticulousness of the Germans to the great individualism of the Scots, the hilariousness of such usually divisive, nationality-based character traits actually united the audience through uproarious laughter.

The enjoyment that came with this performance was seen most clearly in the audience’s roar for an encore and is testament to the unfaltering comedic talent contained within every sketch.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Brighton’s much loved resident satirical sketch show, now in it’s record-breaking 14th year. The one festival show you can’t afford to miss. "Brighton is rightly very proud of this company" (The Argus)
