‘Look anyone will tell you, I’m a pretty straight sort of guy.’ Tony Blair
A reckless reappraisal of the life of former Ugly Rumours front man and Britain’s first pop Prime Minister Tony Blair.
I was laughing so much I struggled to swallow my beer”
★★★★★ Daily Mail
The story of how one man went from peace-loving, long-haired hippy and would-be pop star to warmongering multimillionaire in just a couple of decades. Throw in a stellar cast of larger-than-life characters – Cherie Blair, Princess Diana, John Prescott, Peter Mandelson, Alastair Campbell, Osama bin Laden, George W Bush, Saddam Hussein and Gordon Brown- it’s Yes, Minister meets The Rocky Horror Show! and a musical like no other.
Harry Hill puts the party into politics”
The Guardian
This hilarious new show by Harry Hill and Steve Brown received critical acclaim and following a sold-out run in London now embarks on an eagerly awaited UK tour. A hilarious tragedy of political intrigue, religion, power, and romance that plays fast and loose with the facts, owing as much to Citizen Kane as it does to The Marx Brothers – Karl and Groucho.
Pure satire that is eccentrically British, with a great rock’n’roll soundtrack and original humour”
