Michael Spicer : Hope All’s Well

Michael Spicer’s new live tour Hope All’s Well is a sharp, satirical exploration of the absurdities of modern politics and global affairs.

Expect
- Sketches & Short Films: Fast-paced comedy blending multimedia with live performance.
- Characters: Familiar faces from his BBC Radio 4 show No Room, alongside new creations.
- Themes: A witty dissection of the “gigantic political and global sh**show” we’re all living through, delivered with Spicer’s trademark deadpan style.
- Critical Praise: Radio Times has called him a “huge comedy talent,” while The Guardian and Daily Mail have awarded strong reviews.

For Basingstoke audiences, this is a chance to see one of the UK’s most distinctive satirical voices live in an intimate venue.

The Haymarket’s smaller setting compared to The Anvil makes it perfect for Spicer’s style, audiences will feel close to the action, with every sharp aside landing directly.

Spicer’s blend of political satire and character-driven sketches is likely to resonate strongly with Basingstoke’s theatre-goers, especially those who follow current affairs with a wry smile.

Given Spicer’s popularity and the limited capacity of The Haymarket, tickets are expected to sell quickly.

The show contains strong language and political satire, best suited for adults and older teens.

Michael Spicer’s Hope All’s Well promises a night of biting satire, multimedia comedy, and brilliantly absurd sketches. On 17 October 2026, The Haymarket will host one of the UK’s sharpest comedic voices, offering Basingstoke audiences a rare chance to laugh at the chaos of modern life,together, in real time.
