About This Event

Rosie Holt is set to grace The Pleasance Edinburgh with her latest offering, The Illegal Aliens Have Landed!, on Wednesday 5 August. Renowned for her incisive political satire and masterful character portrayals, Holt reprises her popular MP persona to confront a distinctly unusual, and indeed, extraterrestrial threat. This highly anticipated performance ventures into the realm of science fiction, using an alien invasion as a potent lens through which to examine the intricacies of modern-day politics. Holt’s signature wit and keen observational skills are expected to dissect the often bewildering and sometimes absurd ways in which governments grapple with unforeseen and extraordinary crises. Audiences can anticipate a thought-provoking and hilariously critical exploration of power, policy, and the sheer unpredictability of the political landscape, all viewed through the prism of an intergalactic predicament.
