Three quarters of MPs are millionaires. A third of the country lives below the poverty line. Whatever your politics, Jonny & the Baptists think it's worth talking about - and this week the talking (and playing) will be cutting live from The Stables.
A riotous and heartfelt musical comedy for our times, Jonny & the Baptists' Edinburgh Fringe hit Eat The Poor began its UK tour last month. It will take in more than 50 dates, reflecting their burgeoning fan base - and it arrives here on Saturday (April 8).
Created through extensive research travelling across the country in early 2016, the show combines contemporary satire and inventive musical silliness with an epic personal story.
Setting out to explore the gap between rich and poor, Jonny & the Baptists’ lives turn upside down when Jonny betrays Paddy for financial gain.
As Jonny enjoys the high life with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jerry Hall, Paddy falls into homelessness and despair.
An toe-tapping comedy about inequality, homelessness and revolution in modern Britain, Eat the Poor sees the multi-award-nominees continue to grow in scope and ambition - and even dabble in a small amount of actual economics.
Nominated for five major awards (they’ve never won any), Jonny & the Baptists – real names Jonny Donahoe & Paddy Gervers – have rapidly become one of the UK's hottest live musical comedy acts. Grab a ticket for the Wavendon draw and find out why.
