COMEDY

David Mulholland, who originates from New Orleans, is a former journalist turned comedian. Traditionally US media if one ignores Fox News, are regarded as having a higher standard of fact checking than UK media, so Mulholland was interested to see just how inaccurate some of the stories in the UK press were. He takes a number of stories including EU myths and some economic reports and analyses the truth behind them. The details of the distortions are indeed appalling.

However to present this type of material well you really need to come across as angry and Mulholland to me comes across as a genial guy who wants to tell a few jokes as well as deliver this hard hitting material and the two don’t really fit well together.

All the same, a thought provoking show.
