Taking her smash-hit show on tour for the first time, Mhairi embraces her trademark dark sense of humour to reflect on her decade in the lion’s den of Westminster. This is a first-hand, ruthlessly honest and hilariously cynical look at 21st-century politics from someone who saw it all from the inside.
Mhairi made history as the youngest person ever elected to the House of Commons at just 20 years old. From her viral maiden speech to making waves within the SNP and across the wider political landscape, she has never been one to stick to the script.
Following a totally sold-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Politics Isn’t For Me promises a ‘behind the curtain’ look at the heartbeat of UK politics – and why she eventually decided to walk away.
