ANDREW PIERCE

Frenemies, Andrew and Kevin are famous for their combative encounters on Good Morning Britain where they dissect discuss and disagree vehementally on the issues of the moment.  This Summer, they go face-to-face live on stage in both London and Edinburgh for a no-holds-barred rumble in the political jungle.

8th to 10th  August at The Edinburgh Fringe, these two heavyweights of political journalism meet for a feisty, sometimes firey but always fun, head-to-head. No punches are pulled as these best of foes come out swinging for ninety minutes of exhilarating cut and thrust.  With election fever building and with interventions from the audience, the two battle it out with the sparkiest combination of debating, wit and wisdom in this momentous political year.

Andrew Pierce says –

Seconds out. I will be in the blue corner facing in the far left corner my old (in more ways than one) sparring partner Kevin Maguire from the Daily Mirror. He will quiz me about my book Finding Margaret, published by Biteback, about the long search for my birth mother. We will do battle over the monarchy, Kevin is an arch republican, and why our likely next PM the Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is so dull he sounds like he’s swimming through mashed potato.

Kevin Maguire says – 

I’m thrilled you solved the emotional mystery of your birth mother and Finding Margaret is an emotional roller coaster. But you’ll soon be on the ropes over the fact that you are still a Right-whinger, wrong about everything especially the Tories and  the Royal Family. I know you genuflect every time you walk past Buckingham Palace.   Politics and General Elections are too important to be left to the people like you so let the battle commence.​
