Andy Zaltzman: The Zaltgeist
19 January 2025 @ 7.30pm
About Andy Zaltzman: The Zaltgeist
With the 3rd millennium almost 2.5% complete, Andy Zaltzman, one of the UK’s leading satirical comedians, assesses the state of Planet Earth and its most famous and controversial species –the human race.
In the biggest stand-up tour of his career, Andy will attempt to concoct vaguely plausible answers to perennial questions such as What? Who?, Where?, and above all Why?
As chair of The News Quiz since 2020, Andy has brought his inventive brand of satirical comedy to BBC Radio 4’s long-running flagship topical comedy show, earning the show multiple awards, critical acclaim, and a growing listenership.
