Comedian Andy Parsons is back on tour, and 'Healing the Nation' reaches the Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury on Thursday, September 23.

Due to the pandemic, Healing the Nation was postponed and now all dates have been rescheduled.

Andy said: "I was in the middle of a UK tour when theatres had to close due to lockdown - and the tour was called Healing The Nation - so that title worked out well. 

"It will turn out to be the longest tour ever, taking three years to complete, and as the tour has gone on there's been less and less healing and more and more of the opposite.

"Admittedly, I could have changed the title but it still seems strangely appropriate.

Andy is confident that playing to a whole host of theatres across the UK will undoubtedly mend the myriad divisions this country faces. If current media tropes are to be believed, everybody exists in their own social media bubble and are up in arms about everything - be it Brexit/climate change/transgenders/ badgers.

So come and celebrate what it means to be British in 2021 - freedom of speech, tolerance, tolerance of freedom of speech, freedom of intolerant speech, less freedom with more intolerant speech, but still some tolerance.

As seen on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, Q.I. etc. - and repeated on Dave. As also seen on BBC's Question Time, The Daily Politics, This Week and Newsnight.

In recent times, Andy has hosted People's Vote rallies at the Electric Ballroom, Central Hall Westminster and in Parliament Square to over 100,000 people - as well as fronted Independent Age's latest Campaign Against Loneliness.

Since being a writer on the legendary Spitting Image, Andy won the Time Out Comedy Award in 2002 and has performed stand-up all over the world.

To date he has done five sell-out national tours and released the DVDs Britain's Got Idiots, Gruntled, Slacktivist and Live & Unleashed - But Naturally Cautious.

He was also responsible for the Slacktivist Action Group podcast, which played host to a wide range of MPs, journalists and comedians.
