Comedian, campaigner, satirist and general renaissance artiste Mark Thomas has announced two more nights when he will be recording his latest podcast Things About Us.

In the podcast Thomas investigates what it is to be British. Who do we think we are? Does it match with reality? What’s in the gap between? Expect swearing, politics and fantastically researched material and fun.

Last year, in conjunction with ethical cosmetics brand Lush, he set out to compose new lyrics for a song of the future. At the time he said: "Ours will be an anthem for hope and joy and a winning tune... Imagine the Eurovision song competition meets Ian Dury, Mary Beard and a military band. We have one night only to overturn centuries of tradition and establish ourselves as the voice of a modern Britain so join us in celebrating all that is great about being Brit-ish."

The shows are on February 18 & 19 at 7.30pm at the Museum of Comedy in Holborn, London. Tickets are £8 plus £2 fee and available here.
