(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? \n\n\n\nTopical 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? \n\n\n\nWould 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“Full of sharp one-liners and well-crafted gags…a real talent.” ★★★★ \n\n\n\nMetro \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nStandard – £20.00 \n\n\n\nConcessions – £19.00 \n\n\n\nAll prices include any booking fees \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 15 April 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour 40 minutes \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nThe Theatre \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\n14+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Theatre Chipping Norton\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nThe theatre has has 217 seats\, including stalls and a balcony.
