With UKIP riding high in the polls Nigel Farage is asserting that his party will change the face of British Politics. In an age of colourless bureaucrats, he is a politician who is now impossible to ignore, provoking controversy and admiration in equal measure.

A fun-loving iconoclast whose motto is work hard and play harder, Farage's charismatic leadership and determination to battle the forces of anti-libertarianism have made him a Robin Hood figure to many, and propelled his party, UKIP, into the media spotlight A firm believer in Independence for the United Kingdom he is a proponent of free speech and has faced considerable hostilities from his political opponents for speaking out in favour of free and fair referendums on the transfer of power from elected politicians to the EU.

Theatre audiences now have the opportunity to hear Nigel’s own story, featuring sometimes hilarious and often terrifying encounters with a stellar supporting cast, including Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Nicolas Sarkozy, José Manuel Barroso, and UKIP's short-lived, silver-gilt mascot, Robert Kilroy-Silk and told with Farage's customary wit and humour.

As with all Clive Conway speakers Nigel’s talk will conclude with an open Q&A session after which he will sign copies of his book Flying Free.
