Rishi Sunak's Doing A Musical!

by Rob Gathercole & Joe Venable

​

Rishi Sunak stunned the nation by calling an early election. What made him do it?

This show has the answer: he's been creating his own musical for the summer fringe season! Unfortunately, the writers he's hired to help are surprisingly unsympathetic to his many excellent qualities. Will it be a strong and stable showstopper, or a kickline of chaos?
 
Featuring cameos from beloved fan-favourites such as Sir Keir Starmer, Liz Truss and the ghost of Jeremy Corbyn, Rishi Sunak's Doing A Musical! promises a riotous romp through the 2024 election campaign.

Hastily written by:
