Sandi Toksvig has announced a tour of England and Wales in early 2016.
Sandi Toksvig Live! Politically Incorrect will be an evening of stand-up, stories and fascinating facts, which will raise funds for The Women's Equality Party, which Toksvig co-founded earlier this year. All profits from the shows will go to fund the Party’s work.
The former presenter of The News Quiz will entertain audiences solo for the first half of the evening, and in the second she will introduce them to some special guests and the compelling ideas behind this exciting new venture.
Toksvig said, “When we launched the Women’s Equality Party earlier this year, I said it was time to stop making jokes about politics and participate... On this tour I can do both!”
“This is such an exciting and crucial time in the party’s development – our membership is growing so quickly and there is a real appetite for our core messages around gender equality. I’m really looking forward to getting back out on the road and connecting with supporters round the country, whilst at the same time persuading others to join the Party.”
