Matt Forde’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe Political Party podcast guests added

Matt Forde will interview Anas Sarwar, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Sarah Brown, over three live Edinburgh Festival Fringe Political Party podcast specials.

On 13 August, Matt will be joined by Anas Sarwar, the leader of the Scottish Labour Party, at Gilded Balloon at the Museum.

Jacob Rees-Mogg will be Matt’s guest on 18 August at Underbelly’s McEwan Hall and Sarah Brown joins him for a rare interview at Gilded Balloon at the Museum. Known for her extensive charity work, Sarah made significant contributions during her time at Downing Street.

The Political Party transferred to the West End’s Duchess Theatre in 2021, after over 70 sold out shows at Westminster’s The Other Palace, for a fortnightly residency which was extended three times, continuing in to 2024.

From 3 June to the 4 July, Matt began releasing the podcast daily as part of a challenge, attempting to interview a candidate from all 650 constituencies before polling day.

The Political Party has over 9 million downloads, received numerous awards nominations from bodies including the British Podcast Awards and Chortle Awards, and is regularly highlighted as a top podcast pick in the press.

In addition to returning to the Fringe with the Political Party specials, Matt is performing his new stand-up show The End of an Era Tour for a month-long run and is also set to tour theatres nationwide.
