Helen Brooks & Ali Panting - Eat the News

Apart of the Women in Comedy Festival

Helen and Ali are alternative comedy performers and commissioned writers on the BBC’s multi-award winning surreal topical comedy show The Skewer, as well as contributors to The Naked Week, The News Quiz, Breaking The News and more. They invite you to join them to Eat the News, a twisted taste of current events with audio clips, audience interaction and unexpected weird stuff.

Think Shooting Stars meets Channel 4 News if Krishnan Guru-Murthy wore a chic vintage blouse. We can’t tell you what’s in the show because it will be written just for you in the days before you see it, but the sort of things we like to do include finding out what Katy Perry really did in space, building a marshmallow President and learning about the effects of plastic pollution on wildlife through the medium of ABBA.
