Tarot: Cautionary Tales poster
NR

Come learn life lessons from five people still doing sketch in their thirties. A new show from Tarot, creators of 2019's fifth best reviewed show, Chortle's No 1 show of 2019 and stars of their own Radio 4 sketch show, Soundbleed. Tarot is the lovechild of Goose and Gein's Family Giftshop. By which we mean it's a drain on our bank accounts and we don't talk to our parents about it.

Previous shows have seen her tackle structural racism, sexism, child grooming, adoption and emotional abuse so what seemingly unfunny subject has she picked to turn into laughs this year? Chernobyl? The shrinking size of creme eggs? No, empathy. Which sounds fine actually but maybe not the way Kiri tackles it. Kiri thinks that we live in a time where empathy is seen as a weakness like asthma or being first to pull away from a handshake. But why is that? Surely what we need in these divided times is more empathy? So Kiri is off on a search to find a group of people who she struggles to empathise with, what could this mean…..? Well, it means she’s spent the last year talking to non offending paedophilles on the internet. Yup, her search history is a disaster. So, come and see her make the impossible hilarious or possibly get arrested.
