100% Badgers with Matt Hobs

Fresh from a sell-out run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, 100% Badgers is a stand-up comedy show about how the worlds of humans and badgers collide. This show takes us on Matt Hobs’ journey from a passing interest in badgers, to an obsession that led to him standing in a field looking at a caged, frightened badger caught up in the misinformation of the bovine TB debate. We’ll learn about the European badger and its dachshund nemesis, the presidential American badger, the world-famous internet sensation that is the honey badger and many more.
