The Byline Festival Benefit Show With John Cleese and Friends - one night only!

Followed by Tabloid Confessions performed by two of the most intrepid former tabloid journalists and Byline Investigators: Graham Johnson and Dan Evans, who will lift the lid on some of the most scandalous episodes on the history of the Red Tops. With a quick reprise of the Bad Press Awards 2017, this will be a unique and memorable evening to remember.
