Matt Forde: Project Holy Moly

Matt Forde brings his new show, Project Holy Moly, to Reading Concert Hall on Saturday 5 June 2027, with the performance starting at 7:30pm. If you've come across his name before, it's probably from the political comedy and satire he's built his career on, and that's exactly what he'll be doing on stage here.

Forde's work has popped up across a fair few well-known shows over the years. He's appeared on The Royal Variety Performance, Spitting Image, HIGNFY, British Scandal, and The Matt Forde Focus Group. He's also a writer on 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Stand-Up for the Week, and he hosts his own late-night phone-in show on talkSPORT. It's a lot of different outlets, but they all sit around the same thing: political satire and comedy.

Project Holy Moly is the latest show he's taking on the road, and it's the one he'll be performing when he stops in Reading. The Guardian has called him 'a first class comic', which gives you a decent sense of where he stands if you haven't seen him live before. The show runs at Reading Concert Hall, inside Reading Town Hall, so it's right in the centre of town.

It's a Saturday night, 7:30pm start, so you've got the whole evening to work around it. If you're into political comedy and want to see it live in town, this is the one to keep on your radar.
