Donald Trump’s first few days in office have served to confirm many people’s worst fears. In the months and years to come, literally anything could happen. As the wise old ones say – You Couldn’t Make It Up.
But at a time when increasing numbers of US political cartoonists are being censored or sacked for the mildest criticism of Trump, how do you fight back?
Well cartoonist, satirist and Edinburgh Fringe regular Martin Rowson might – just might – have the answer. Or he might not.
In his completely new show, “Trumped”, drawing on insights from his 40 years in frontline journalism and the thousands of cartoons about British, US and global politics he’s produced in The Guardian and almost every other publication you can think of, he’s hellbent on having a lot of desperately needed fun finding out…
Expect cartoons. Expect jokes. Expect radical analysis, ranting and startling insights. Probably expect food based action painting.
Martin Rowson is a multi-award winning cartoonist, writer, graphic novelist, painter, illustrator, performer and poet.
A staunch supporter of Brockley Max he has, once again, given his time to raise funds for the festival. Join us on March 27 for an evening upstairs at the Brookmill Pub, St John’s SE8. Tickets £12 + booking fee. Tickets at Eventbrite.
