Comedian Mark Thomas, a man referred to by the Metropolitan Police as a ‘general rabble-rouser’, will return to Glasgow in April with his latest tour.
Trespass, Mark’s sell-out Edinburgh Fringe 2015 show, carries on from where his previous show 100 Acts of Minor Dissent left off. Combining his usual mix of theatre, stand up, activism, a dash of journalism and dollop of mayhem, Mark asks the question: “If the ramblers of the 1930’s were here now, what would they do to open up the cities? How do we turn the skyscrapers and corporate squares into our playgrounds?”
Inspired by the mass trespass of Kinder Scout in 1932, Mark turns his eye to how the government have sold off the majority of our communal spaces, from playing fields to public rights of way, setting out to try and carve a small space in the urban world where mischief and random chance can lurk.
Mark’s previous solo shows have all gone on to have sell-out runs, snapping up awards and nominations and earning commissions to become their very own Radio 4 series. He’s won a Herald Angel award, the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression award and two Scotsman Fringe First awards.
Trespass will be at The Tron theatre in Glasgow from Wednesday 13th to Friday 15th April. You can buy tickets here.
