What it might be, how we can miss it and how we can find it again...like all those who spread mirth for a living, Mitch Benn ("the country's leading musical satirist" - The Times) has been wondering if he's really making a difference, and if there is - yes - a POINT to what he - or anybody - is doing.
Well the good news is he's had a long hard think about it and he's figured it out, and he's coming back to tell us all what the POINT of comedy - and much else besides - might be...
"Song after song of exquisitely crafted satire" - The Scotsman
"Well crafted, well sung, his songs are just plain funny" - The Guardian

Edinburgh Reviews:
"As always there is what is for me a highlight, his 'live looping' where with the aid of his phone and a few pedals, he builds from scratch a fully orchestrated number in front of ones very eyes" **** One4Review
"Mitch Benn may be wondering what The Point is, but to the audience, it's very clear, making us all laugh until we're red in the face. And he does this very well. Bloody funny, go see" **** Starburst
