The People Speak bring their tools for the world to take over itself to the Sage & Jester event series at The Pleasance Theatre! Expect Talkaoke and other interactive formats at this unique evening of fun & conversation!

Sometimes the best way to expose a lie is to laugh at it. Satire is a force to be reckoned with in any democracy and artists are essential in shedding light on the truth. Comedy has long been a way to bring difficult conversations to the fore, and to challenge narratives.

At Tricks, Trolls and LOLs, find out how humour and creative expression can serve as a counterbalance to misinformation; how satire can dismantle it, why authoritarian regimes fear comedians, and how art can be a powerful antidote to propaganda.

On May 13, join the conversation live at the Pleasance Theatre with host Sophia Smith Galer and commentator and comedian Rachel Parris.
