Serial Spinners: The Dark Arts of Politics

The Dark Arts used by politicians and their advisors, speechwriters, and spin doctors are mired in mystery and their own mythology. In his Fringe debut, former Labour Spokesman James Matthewson lifts the curtain on this world. In this hour-long talk, Matthewson explores through comedy (and sometimes tragedy) some of the strategies and tricks of the trade used in politics: past, present, and future. Be prepared for humour and horror, in what has been described as 'true-crime podcast meets Question Time' as Matthewson reveals what's in his (literal) bag of tricks!
