Daliso Chaponda - Topical Storm
About
Daliso has been writing jokes about the news for over a decade - on Have I Got News For You, Radio 4' News Quiz, Australia's Good News Week & many more besides. (In fact he's seen the news from both sides, having been in the tabloids himself.) But recently the news has been so absurd, chaotic & overwhelming that it more or less mocks itself. Where do we go from here?Topical Storm is Daliso's response. A show not about THE news but about news itself. Journalists, bloggers, fake news, satirical news: have we lost the thread of it all? Is the reporting of news endlessly polarising us as a society rather than educating us?
Would we be better off going right back to the first ever news bulletin - the original caveman drawing on a wall - and starting from scratch? Daliso does just that in this explosive new standup show.
★★★★ "Sharp one-liners and well crafted gags..a real talent" - Metro
