Stand-up comedy show where Hannah Ferguson delivers a satirical take on the 'State of the Nation' in a fictionalised 2026.
Hannah Ferguson brings her State of the Nation tour to the Concert Hall, Newcastle City Hall on Wednesday 14 October, starting at 7:30pm. Ferguson is the founder of Cheek Media, and this show is a satirical look at the state of the country, set in a fictionalised 2026. In her version of things, grievance politics has arrived from America, an orange leader is threatening to take control, and public figures like Dave Hughes are weighing in on tax reform. She describes the show as blending belly laughs with sharp commentary, with nothing off-limits.
It's not just a monologue, either. Ferguson puts audience dialogue at the forefront, so it's designed to be interactive rather than a one-way street. Her aim is to leave you both entertained and equipped with a few talking points for the next family dinner. The whole thing runs for 110 minutes, which includes a 20-minute intermission, so you'll have a break in the middle to stretch your legs and grab a drink before the second half kicks in.
