'If you liked Bill Hicks... If you think comedy should be about something more than just froth and banter... If you want to hear someone standing-up for freedom of speech and smacking religious bigotry and political stupidity squarely in the face... then this hugely talented American is the guy for you.'

Time Out Critics' Choice

Drawing on his terrifying first-hand experiences of the American religious right, New York stand-up comic Jamie Kilstein's eloquently constructed arguments probe politics and religion to uncompromising conclusions.

Don't miss his unflinching, razor sharp and very funny examination of public hypocrisy in his highly anticipated London debut.

 

'There are few truly insightful, passionate and hysterically funny political comedians around, and even fewer coming out of the States. New Yorker Jamie Kilstein is a shining light probing into the murkier corners of the religious right and corrupt politics of his homeland. Funny and penetrating, he’s taken Bill Hicks’ baton and run with it.'

Time Out

'Kilstein is smart, informed and impassioned. It's a killer combination. This guy does kick a whole lot of ass. I don't think there is higher praise for me to give.'

**** The Scotsman

'In this brisk, fluid hour he’s sharp, sarcastic and engaging, fearless in niggling his targets and knows how to write a joke to back up his incredulous indignation…as funny as it is audacious.'

**** Chorlte

'Kilstein’s savage intelligence and razor-sharp wit will make you think as much as laugh.'
