Stand-up comedian Mark Thomas returns to Liverpool from 8th-10th March with a comedy show directly from a Palestinian refugee camp – Showtime from the Frontline.

Following previous shows Trespass and The Red Shed that both visited Liverpool in 2016, Mark brings his political and satirical comedy back to the Playhouse, alongside two aspiring comedians from Thomas’ comedy club based in Gaza.

Dodging cultural and literal bullets, Israeli incursions and religion, Mark and his team set out to run a comedy club and put on two nights in Jenin in the West Bank. Only to find that it is not so simple to celebrate freedom of speech in a place with so little freedom.
