🤩 Andy Zaltzman: The Zaltgeist (Tour Warm-Up) - The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton


Time: 19:30 - 21:30 Price: £16.50

🎤 ANDY ZALTZMAN–The Zaltgeist 2026–A Second Thwack.

▪️AGE: 14+


🤩 DETAILS
Following a sell-out 2024/2025 national run, Andy Zaltzman–host of The Bugle podcast and BBC Radio4’s The News Quiz, statistician on Test Match Special, and champion of Taskmaster series 18–extends his hit tour into 2026.

Fully updated due to the UK and the world both steadfastly refusing to sort themselves out, Andy assesses the state of renowned planet Earth, its under-pressure current in-house millennium, and its most famous and controversial species–the human race.

With politicians the world over striving to outdo each other in splattering their people with a cocktail of incompetence, inexplicability and insatiable dishonesty, Andy, the universe’s leading and only 2-in-1 political-comedian-and-professional-cricket-statistician, harnesses the combined 21st-century witchcraft of A.I. and his live audience. Between them, they will concoct vaguely plausible answers to perennially troublesome questions such as What?, Who?, When?, Where?, and above all Why?

🐧 WARNING: May feature talking penguin.
