Rosie Holt: The Illegal Aliens Have Landed!

About

Acclaimed comedian and actor brings political surrealism

Rosie and her MP alter-ego are back, fighting their biggest foe yet. Rosie Holt: The Illegal Aliens Have Landed! is at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Saturday 14 November at 8pm. Tickets are £21.50 (plus a £1.90 per transaction booking fee).

Labour are trying to continue the Conservatives’ work of stopping the boats while also still appearing ‘leftwing’, but they have an even bigger problem when UFOs arrive. Will the government stand strong? Or insist they are ‘just waiting for the facts’ as aliens start to abduct and eat the British public?

Award-winning Rosie Holt was winner of the Chortle Social Media Award 2022 and was a BPG Emerging Creator nominee. She revisits her much-loved MP alter ego as she confronts an entirely new and unexpected threat. Apolitical satirist known for her precise eye on current affairs, Rosie skewers familiar trends and narratives, offering sharp comic relief from the chaos of contemporary politics. This science fiction-infused satire pushes familiar political responses to absurd extremes. 

Rosie is widely recognised for her viral online videos and has been satirising the political landscape since the pandemic, amassing more than nine million views. As seen on Channel 4’s The Last. Leg, The Russell Howard Hour on Sky Max, BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz and many more.

With reality proving ever more unpredictable, Rosie Holt asks whether satire can still keep pace or whether it is simply reflecting the world as it unfolds.
