Andy Zaltzman comes to Southend

Following a sell-out 2024/2025 national run, Andy Zaltzman – host of The Bugle podcast and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, statistician on Test Match Special, and champion of Taskmaster series 18 – extends his hit tour The Zaltgeist into 2026. 

Fully updated due to the UK and the world both steadfastly refusing to sort themselves out, Andy assesses the state of renowned planet Earth, its under-pressure current in-house millennium, and its most famous and controversial species – the human race.

The Zaltgeist comes to the Palace Theatre in Southend on 17th March.
