Ventriloquism is seen as light entertainment. But dummy Chester Missing and his handler, South African comic Conrad Koch, have long been out to get serious, writes Holly Williams.

Great review for White Noise in Edinburgh from The List! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars! “Frenzied hilarity”… “whip-smart wit”… “their so-called psychic connection allows Chester to unmask how white people like Koch pay lip service to anti-racism without doing the proper work”

When the ANC marches against itself do they check first which part of themselves they are opposing or do they ever end up in a bus going to their own house to hand a memorandum to themselves?

Boris Johnson has left but he’s not actually leaving. So he’s basically his own Brexit. Maybe that’s what the B stood for the whole time. Boris.
