    • Personal Journals

“I went straight out of a civil war and ended up hanging out with most of the current Tory cabinet… a very strange place to be”.

Comedian and writer Dom Joly on his Lebanese heritage, geo-political comedy, and his dark sense of humour.

Joly also discusses AI, being pigeon-holed, his infamous prank show Trigger Happy TV, and his new book The Conspiracy Tourist which saw him travel the globe to investigate and understand some of the world’s most dangerous and hilarious conspiracy theories in a ‘post-truth’ political space.
