Have you seen the news in Norfolk this year? Prince Andrew, Pigeons, Poltergeists – this yare’s all bin a bit waird, hentut? Time then for Karl Minns (The Nimmo Twins, She Go Looks Back..) to make like a shoplifter who can’t afford gravy and ‘take stock’.
Using his trusty PowerPoint, his less than trusty jokes and his totally untrustworthy singing voice, Minns will attempt to make sense of the first chunk of 2026 while dipping into the news archives. Expect the local elections, the end of Anglia Square, Farage at Ipswich Town, Philippe Clement, and any other rural shenanigans that crop up between now and August.
Watch in wonder as a desperate man once more attempts to build a raging fire of comedy from the damp kindling of local news.

Reviews
“Dry, shambolic and extremely funny.”
The List“The single greatest comedy writer in the business. If comedy was a meritocracy he’d be a billionaire.”
Matt Forde“Karl Minns is a Swiss Army knife joke-machine who mixes metaphors better than I do.”
Al Murray
