Liverpool audiences are set to be treated to two of the U.K.’s best-loved comedians this season as Nina Conti and Mark Thomas each come to the Playhouse for one night only. Mark Thomas’ 100 Acts of Minor Dissent will be on Tuesday 22nd October, with Nina Conti’s Dolly Mixtures on Saturday 26th October.

Multi-award winning comedian and B.A.F.T.A. nominated filmmaker Nina Conti brings her unique mixture of ground-breaking ventriloquism and mischievous stand-up to the Playhouse for the first time. Boasting some poignant reflections on art and the psychology of ventriloquism, the show also delves into the darker glimpses of Nina’s own psyche.
