Best known for his weekly on-screen political rants, fictional news reporter Jonathan Pie is the satirical creation of actor and writer Tom Walker. Now with over 1.5 million followers online, Pie’s live shows have sold out arenas around the UK and the world, including two sell out nights at the Hammersmith Apollo. His current live show, the FAKE NEWS Tour heads to Australia in Feb 2020 and then returns to the UK. Tickets available here.

Spanner Films is best known for Franny Armstrong's Grierson-winning climate blockbuster The Age of Stupid (2009), starring the late Pete Postlethwaite - “Think ‘Inconvenient Truth’ but with a personality” (LA Times) - which pioneered the use of crowd-funding and led to the formation of the 10:10 climate campaign. We also made McLibel (2005) and Drowned Out (2001).
