FRINGE: Steve Punt at Ludlow Assembly Rooms

STEVE PUNT has been looking at the news for a living for over thirty years, as a host of The Now Show and The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and as a writer for everything from Spitting Image and Mock the Week to Horrible Histories. But what – if anything – has he learned?

What lessons can he draw from watching the world change, history unfold, leaders come and go – and trying to be funny about it? Starting out on a BBC typewriter with a pile of newspapers, he has watched the news go 24-hours, digitize, go multi-channel, social-media, AI-driven and often fake to start with. Looking back, sideways and forwards at the events that have shaped our lives, Steve poses the question – what is news, and should we care? (Answer – after the break.)


Dinner and a Show!

Bill's Kitchen, within Ludlow Assembly Rooms, is now offering a 2-course meal before the show for only £16 (if booked 24 hours in advance). Book your table directly with Bill's Kitchen and come along any time after 5.30pm to eat before the show starts – the earlier you come the bigger the menu selection.
