Rosie Nicholls presents:

The Mayor and His Daughter: A Genuine Appreciation of Comedy

Thu 28 – Sat 30 May 26 60 minutes
The Mayor and his Daughter are in crisis.

The soul of their beloved village is in tatters, besieged by the demonic forces of modern Britain. But there’s a light in the darkness; when they discover a sacred tome – a box set of Russell Howard’s Good News (Series 2). They make it their mission to repair their fractured community with laughter.

Directed by Comedians’ Choice Award winning absurdist comedian Joz Norris and produced by award-winning sketch comedian Rosie Nicholls (Grubby Little Mitts).
