Join us for an evening at Leeds Playhouse with Marina Hyde, and fellow Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff.
About this Event

Described by Phoebe Waller-Bridge as “the most lethal, vital, screamingly funny truth-teller of our time”, Marina Hyde’s incisive wit takes no prisoners. From skewering Boris Johnson (“third prize in a competition to build Winston Churchill out of marshmallows”) to lampooning Brexit, she is the chief chronicler of our stranger-than-fiction times. What Just Happened?! is a collection of her writing over the past six years, covering not just Westminster politics but a whole circus of outrageous characters, from movie stars to royals, media barons and reality TV monsters.

At this special live event she will talk about her book, and give her verdict on the latest stories to make the headlines. Since the last twelve months alone gave us three prime ministers, a self-inflicted financial meltdown, Matt Hancock’s trip to the jungle and a tax scandal involving the chancellor, there is sure to be plenty to talk about…

You can join this event in-person at Leeds Playhouse, Quarry Hill, LS2. Tickets are £25 to attend the event. See tickets for further details.

Marina Hyde will also be in conversation with Jonathan Freedland at Cadogan Hall in London on Thursday 1 June and with Gary Younge at the Theatre Royal in Brighton on Tuesday 13 June.

If you’re unable to attend these events in person, the event on Thursday 1 June will be livestreamed globally. All ticket holders will be sent a recording of that event in the days after the initial broadcast so you can watch on-demand in your own time.

7pm BST | 8pm CEST | 11am PDT | 2pm EDT

This event will not be recorded and will not be available to watch afterwards.
