Overview
The man behind two of the smartest, sweariest shows on television will come to Melbourne to speak about spin and satire in the world of modern day politics.
Armando Iannucci is best known as the creator of two of the funniest political comedies in living memory: the BBC's The Thick of It and HBO's Veep. Both shows have been lauded for their uncomfortably accurate portrayal of contemporary politics. In fact, they're so accurate that Malcolm Turnbull even accidentally adopted one of Selina Myer's slogans during last year's federal election campaign. Whoops!
Both shows also beloved among fans for having some of the most entertaining profanity ever uttered on television… and for very good reason.
After opening the Sydney Writers' Festival, Iannucci will be at the Comedy Theatre on the evening of Wednesday, May 3 to speak in conversation with Tony Martin. Tickets are available now.
