A new stand-up show explores who really calls the shots in Westminster.

Political commentator, Times Radio presenter and critically acclaimed comedian Matt Chorley calls in at the Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis, tomorrow (Friday March 18) to ask 'who's in charge here?'

Matt has spent the past 17 years in Westminster seeing up close how politics works, or doesn’t. After the sell-out success of his first tour This Is Not Normal, Matt is back with an hilarious new show exploring who really calls the shots. Is the Prime Minister actually in charge, or at the mercy of the opposition, backbenchers, lobbyists, the media, spin doctors, his wife, or the Queen?

A sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2005 with the sketch group Big Day Out led to a 14-year break from comedy before Matt Chorley’s debut stand-up This. Is. Not. Normal. in 2019, during which somebody called an election. His new show - Who Is In Charge Here? - is more election-proof as a result.

Matt said: “Look I know everyone is really excited about the idea of a change at the top, but for the purposes of my tour it would be great if everyone could just stay in their jobs until Easter, so each show isn't actually just a live news report of the day's insanity.

"If you have ever looked at politics and wondered 'why are they doing that?', 'why does that happen?' or 'how big was the suitcase of wine?' I will at least try to answer your questions at what will definitely be considered a work event.”
