The Protect The Human Players's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | Formed in August 2006, the Protect The Human Players are the world's only political comedy troupe directly tackling subjects traditionally considered 'outside' the 'mainstream' or 'impossible' to 'laugh at'.
The kind of topics a respected international charity like Amnesty International have done such a sterling job fighting for (or against) over decades.
With our uncompromising comedy style, noose-tight writing and sheer unfazeability, the PTH Players sketch show is already making waves on the UK comedy circuit.
"The most shocking thing you've seen on a stage"

About me:
Thought political comedy was dead? Thought sketches about torture, summary executions and extraordinary rendition couldnt EVER be funny?
Well, think again. But deeply this time.
Because your mind is about to changed. Radically.
The Protect The Human Players are *THE* world's *FIRST* and *ONLY* 'issues-based comedy' quartet.
Think: forward-thinking, cutting edge, avante garde.
Our unique mix of awareness-raising subject matter, adept comedy writing, and razor-sharp performance guarantees an experience you won't soon forget.
STOP PRESS!!! Look out for us at Amnesty International's new Secret Policeman's Ball this October. (Our booking isn't confirmed yet but it soon will be. We're expected a call from Amnesty any day. Stay tuned to our blog for further updates COMING SOON!!).
If you're an international charity or development agency looking for deep issues-based comedy proven to resonate with modern audience, PTH are for you. We'll travel anywhere, anytime. Email us for pricing and availability.
We're also available for corporate events and stag do's.
