Daliso Chaponda: Topical Storm
15 April @ 7.30pm
About Daliso Chaponda: Topical Storm
Daliso Chaponda has been writing jokes about the news for over a decade – on Have I Got News For You, Radio 4′ News Quiz, Australia’s Good News Week and many more besides. (In fact, he’s seen the news from both sides, having been in the tabloids himself.) But recently the news has been so absurd, chaotic and overwhelming that it more or less mocks itself. Where do we go from here?
Topical Storm is Daliso’s response. A show not about ‘The’ news but about news itself. Journalists, bloggers, fake news, satirical news: have we lost the thread of it all? Is the reporting of news endlessly polarising us as a society rather than educating us?
Would we be better off going right back to the first-ever news bulletin – the original caveman drawing on a wall – and starting from scratch? Daliso does just that in this explosive new standup show.

About The Theatre Chipping Norton
The Theatre Chipping Norton, sometimes called The Theatre, Chipping Norton or Chipping Norton Theatre, is a theatre, an arthouse cinema, a gallery and a concert hall in Chipping Norton.
The theatre has has 217 seats, including stalls and a balcony. It is a resource for the community, and it is also a professional venue, welcoming over 55,000 customer visits every year.
It is something unique, but it is also different things to different people. It is the cause and subject of many arguments and debates; and a fair amount of acclaim and affection. It is complicated and a little eccentric.
It is not a little theatre. It likes to make a big noise.
