A Sunday Times bestselling author and co-host of the smash hit podcast The Rest is Entertainment, Marina Hyde has an unrivalled talent for making sense of our stranger-than-fiction times

Described by Phoebe Waller-Bridge as “the most lethal, vital, screamingly funny truth-teller of our time”, Marina Hyde has become one of Britain’s most popular columnists and podcasters. 

This September, Hyde comes to venues across the UK for a live show about the state of the world, marking the launch of her new book What A Time To Be Alive! From lambasting the Trump presidency, to the increasing popularity of Nigel Farage's Reform, from the spectacle of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Venice wedding to the Beckham family feud, she is chief chronicler of our gloriously chaotic age.  

Join her for a joyous and irreverent evening as she uses her incisive wit to skewer the biggest stories from Westminster, Silicon Valley, Hollywood and much more.

An infinite number of gag-writers, working all day in a gag factory, couldn’t come up with any of the perfectly-formed one-liners that populate Marina Hyde’s hilarious writing . . . More than a gentle poke in the ribs: it’s a well-wrought and deftly aimed smash in the teeth
