Comedian and political commentator Matt Forde will be coming to Norden Farm next year as part of his ‘biggest tour to date.’
Matt Forde is also an impressionist and writer who voiced d Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer and even Liz Truss.
Many of these memorable impressions were seen on the famed satirical TV puppet show Spitting Image.
Forde has appeared on the panel show Have I Got News For You and has appeared alongside fellow comedians Jon Richardson and Russell Howard on radio and podcast.
He has hosted several political podcasts himself, including Unspun With Matt Forde and The Political Party, which combines topical comedy and an informal interview with a prominent politician.
His website describes it as ‘an archive of UK politics’ featuring hour-long interviews with ‘some of the most dominant figures in recent history’ including Tony Blair, Nicola Sturgeon, Nick Clegg, Nicky Morgan, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Ed Miliband and Nigel Farage.
Forde is co-host of the British Scandal podcast alongside presenter Alice Levine, where they delve into the murkier side of the British elite from the phone hacking scandal to Profumo affair.
Apart from his twists and turns through the political landscape, he has had personal struggles – he went through spinal surgery in 2023 due to a tumour caused by a rare type of bone cancer.
Now Matt Forde’s new stand-up, Matt Forde: Defying Calamity, is running from January to July 2026 – and is coming to Norden Farm in Maidenhead on May 29.
The show, according to Forde’s website, ‘finds positivity in life despite all the evidence to the contrary’ – in politics and his own health.
Tickets cost for the Norden Farm show are priced from £25 and are available to book now on norden.farm/events/matt-forde-defying-calamity
