Lolshevism is back at The Packhorse Pub for 2017, to literally mock neoliberalism to death. Guaranteed. No, seriously, we did the maths on this.

As ever we will be bringing you the finest socialist feminist comedy on offer, with donations being taken for the Leeds Asylum Seekers Support Network (details below). MC: Jacob Rawcliffe Support acts: Hannah Platt Tim McConnell Chris Waugh Bobbie-Ann Jones

Headliner: RAHUL KOHLI We're delighted to announce that our first gig of 2017 will be headlined by RAHUL KOHLI Rahul Kohli is one of the fastest rising act on the circuit. A young geordie asian man combining fierce political satire with surreal storytelling, in just a few short years, his debut solo show: Newcastle Brown Male gained critical acclaim at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival earning him a top pick of both BBC Radio 4 and the Huffington Post. It also gained him radio credits for BBC Radio 4's State of the Nation and BBC Asia Networks Big Asian Comedy Night. On top of this he has gained writing credits for other Radio 4 Shows while performing at some of the biggest clubs around the country from the Stand up North to the Comedy Store down south. “Dripping with erudite genius” – fest magazine “Kohli is not just performing for laughs; he is attempting to create some real art.” - Broadway Baby DONATIONS TO LEEDS ASYLUM SEEKERS SUPPORT NETWORK We are delighted to announce we will be donating the proceeds from this show to Leeds Asylum Seekers Support Network.
