Senator Bernie Sanders
Frankie Boyle meets Bernie Sanders - it's OK to be angry about capitalism
Senator Sanders joins Frankie Boyle live on stage at Brighton Dome and via livestream to demand fundamental economic and political change. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? This event is held in collaboration with How to Academy.
Sanders is an American politician serving as the senior United States senator from Vermont, a seat he has held since 2007. He is the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history. A self-described democratic socialist, he is often seen as a leader of the progressive movement in the United States.
Boyle is a Scottish comedian and writer. He is known for his cynical, surreal, graphic and often controversial sense of humour. A stand-up comedian since 1995, Boyle first gained widespread recognition as a regular panellist on the comedy show Mock the Week from its beginning in June 2005 until his departure in September 2009. Currently, he presents the BBC Two chat show Frankie Boyle’s New World Order (2017–present).
