Andy Zaltzman previews his new Edinburgh show *Satirist for Hire* at the No5 Club at the Drayton on March 28. And it will be a chance to get involved for the audience as he throws out suggestions for topics they would like him to talk about. Should be no shortage of ideas there...
Zaltzman has been described by Time Out magazine as "Probably the best satirical comic we've produced in the last two decades. Intelligent, biting and silly". He is the co-writer and host of the BBC Radio 4 show Political Animal and
is also co-writer and presenter for the hit satirical podcast The Bugle, which averages 500,000 downloads a week.
Zaltzman is a regular on topical panel quiz show The News Quiz, Radio 5's 7 Day Sunday with Al Murray and The Now Show (BBC Radio 4), and his numerous diverse TV appearances include Dave's One Night Stand (Dave), 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4), Russell Howard's Good News (BBC Three), The Late and Live Guide to Comedy (BBC2) and Newsnight (BBC Two).
He is joined on the bill by the very talented Mark Smith who will also perform a preview of his Edinburgh show.
Smith has appeared on Russell Howard's Good News and MTV and has established himself as one of the most interesting and exciting comics on the circuit.
