The Tringe continues with another wonderful night of comedy. Tringe favourite Mark Thomas is joined by the brilliant Dee Allum, who makes her debut on our festival stage.
It's a marathon, not a sprint. The Tringe Festival Passport is a famous part of the festival. Enjoy 21 nights with the one ticket.
Join Mark as he tries out material for his brand-new show.
Jokes, rants, politics, play and the occasional sing song.
If you don’t know what he does ask your parents.
In his time he has won awards (current total is now officially ‘fuckloads’), forced a politician to resign, changed laws on tax and protest, become Guinness Book of Records world record holder for number of protests in 24 hours, taken the police to court 3 times and won, walked the length of the Israeli Wall in the West Bank and generally mucked about trying to have fun and fuck the right people off.
This show is more of the above.
“You’ll leave recommitted to the fight against this appalling authoritarian government, to keep that tradition alive.” Guardian 2021
She's here! She's queer! Her parents are sort-of used to it! Fresh, exciting and overall just happy to be here, Dee is the greatest transgender comedian her small village has ever produced. This debut stand-up show is about reconciling with the past, coming out and going through two puberties (frankly, two too many). As seen on the BBC New Comedy Awards Final and Comedy Central Live.
Dee was a finalist in the 2022 BBC New Comedy Award competition and started her comedy career performing sketches with the Cambridge Footlights. In the last two years Dee has been nominated for Best Newcomer at the Chortle Awards, placed as runner up in the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year Award 2021, won the 2Northdown New Act Competition 2021.
