Mark Thomas

Our right to roam is the focus for Mark Thomas in his acclaimed new show, Trespass. Following a sold-out season at the Edinburgh Fringe, the politically active comic is taking his latest musings on the road.

In Trespass, he talks about the ways in which Britain’s communal green spaces have been gradually sold off or closed to the public and considers how our cities could be made into playgrounds once again.

He also wonders how the ramblers of the 1930s would have responded to today’s restrictions. With his usual mischievous approach, Mark uses humour to explore serious issues in a highly entertaining way.

The show is at the Horsebridge Centre in Whitstable at 8pm on Friday, December 4. Tickets cost £13 in advance or £15 on the door.
