Mhairi Black: Politics Isn't For Me

date_range 16th May, 2025

Every effort has been made to verify the accuracy of the event information but we recommend contacting the event organisers before attending.

Former MP Mhairi Black embraces her trademark dark sense of humour to reflect on her time in Westminster, providing a first-hand, ruthlessly honest look at 21st century politics.

Mhairi became the youngest person ever elected to the House of Commons at the age of 20 and went on to make waves both in the SNP and on the wider political scene. Following on from a sold out run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Politics Isn’t For Me promises a behind the scenes look from someone who spent almost a decade at the heartbeat of UK politics.
