May 4, 2026, will be the 100th anniversary of the first full day of the 1926 General Strike - the biggest rupture in British society since the English Civil War. Millions of workers and their families withdrew their labour, challenging the British state and the very existence of the Establishment.

 

Locally, it led to the imprisonment of the infamous Cramlington Train Wreckers.

​

Centenary is a celebration of the historical nine-day 1926 General Strike - when workers believed a new, equal and better world was possible. It could have happened then - it still can.

​

Join us at The Glasshouse, Gateshead, for a show that includes songs, comedy sketches, satire, stand-up comedy and recitations.

 

Wisecrack put on two sold-out shows called Boris Out!, and look what happened to him!
