Party

Overview

University comedy troupes and political satire can either be the best thing in the world or the worst. Just look at The Chaser, as an example of either, depending on your taste.

I'm guessing that we are in pretty safe hands with The Invisible Dot though. They're a team of 6 young comedians and writers from England who've won a slew of awards in both Edinburugh and Britain. Their play The Party is about a bunch of idealistic young idiots who form a political party in an attempt to solve the problems of the world. The premise is loose and open-ended enough to allow the troupe to riff on a bunch of political topics including China, sex trafficking, cycle lanes, unfair trade coffee and when they should break for cake.
