The snap election has had a domino effect on political comedians' performances at Edinburgh this year.
A change of government means comedians at Edinburgh's Fringe Festival are enjoying 'a new host of characters to take the mick out of'. Matt Forde is no stranger to the demands of political comedy, having voiced the likes of Boris Johnson on Spitting Image and appeared panel shows like the BBC's Have I Got News For You. He told Sky News: 'Politics is always volatile, there's always something going on, and I love the challenge of it.
Alex Salmond, Ruth Davidson, Rachel Reeves, Humza Yousaf and Liz Truss are all slated to appear at various speaking events. Truss is also the focus of not one, but two Fringe shows sending up her short stint in office, with all-male a capella group The Techtonics setting the story of the 44 Days Of Liz Truss to music.
