HEADING to The Spring Arts and Heritage Centre in Havant this weekend is comic maestro Stephen K Amos.
Bread and Circuses will focus on Brexit, Trump and the absence of Mary Berry from The Great British Bake Off.
Amos might not be able to provide bread to the hungry masses, but no one else is going to put on a better circus.
Leave your problems behind for the evening – and who knows – maybe the world will seem just a little bit brighter.
When Ancient Rome needed to distract itself from politics, a few solutions were suggested, but none hit the spot quite like the simple idea of giving the people cheap food and plentiful entertainment – ‘panem et circenses’ or ‘bread and circuses’.
Our circuses might no longer involve gladiator fights to the death, but the same principle applies. Modern politics is a confusing mess, so no one can blame you for giving it a miss in favour of a night of laughs this festive season.
Tickets are £17, £16 for concessions. The show is recommended for ages 16 and up.
