West End run for Jonathan Pie
Jonathan Pie has announced a two-week West End run.
The dates at the Duke Of York’s Theatre follow a 41-date tour of his latest show, Heroes & Villains.
Tom Walker, the man behind the character of a permanently aggreived political journalist, said: ‘In an age where the West End is full of jukebox musicals, a six hour play about Harry Potter, audiences who pretend to understand Shakespeare and critics who think Waiting For Godot is in any way "laugh out loud’" funny, I am proud as punch to be bringing a touch of class to London’s once thriving theatre scene.
‘Join me for an evening of me talking about politics and other things you might have already seen in the news recently. It might not be as much fun as the Harry Potter thing… but it’s probably cheaper and certainly a lot shorter.’
