Conspiracy theories used to be fun but now they’ve gone mainstream and infected the body politic. Dom Joly's show will provide a hilarious, fascinating, and slightly anarchic guide to the wacky world of conspiracies.
Having travelled the globe looking into some of the strangest and weirdest conspiracy theories in existence for his new book, Dom is now ready to tell us what he thinks. However, he won’t be alone. In the spirit of balance, Dom has invited an infamous conspiracy theorist, Dr Julian Northcote, to take the stage and defend the alternative view.
Joly and Dr Northcote will address some of the questions below and many more –
Is the earth flat?
Does Finland exist?
Did JFK commit suicide?
Are UFOs piloted by lizards?

Bureaucracy, personalised number plates, authority, forms, dancing, being late.

Solo trip in the Congo to try and find a monster called the M’kele M’Bembe. It all went pear-shaped.

What has surprised you the most during your career in comedy?
That it’s still going.
