His purpose is to fight the establishment through comedy and he's very good at it.

Jane booked the tickets at the Junction in Goole - another first for us, never been to Goole. After a 45 minute journey we found some free on road parking just down from the <a title="City &amp; County Pub, Goole" href="http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/city-and-county" target="_blank">City and County JD Wetherspoons </a>pub where we intended to eat but first we had to collect our tickets from the box office. After avoiding some dubious looking characters we asked a couple walking towards where the Junction was and they said "we're going there ourselves, we'll show you". When we looked at the chap it was none other than Mark Thomas himself - he lead us to the entrance and ushered in. A great intro to the evening.

For a fifty year old man to maintain the rebelliousness of an eighteen year old is marvellous and a lesson for us all. We had a great night.
