Mark thomas: The Manifesto is a show that attempts to probe our collective creativity. The economy is bust, the environment broken and governments have run out of ideas, the only people who can save the day… is us!

Each audience member gets to nominate their favourite ideas to make Britain a better place and decide a policy for the Manifesto, which Thomas will examine, road test and then make these policies reality… or at least try to. Ideas have ranged from attempting to buy a member of the House of Lords to helping bankers to experience destitution, from a maximum wage to hunting down dog owners who don’t clear up their hound’s pile.
