There is a neat irony here: had Tess Seddon been half as charming on the campaign trail as this show about her failed attempt to stand for parliament, she would probably be an MP. But then we wouldn’t have this delightful gem, so while her political ambitions remain unfulfilled, we should be thankful she garnered only 303 votes when she stood for the Yorkshire party by accident in the 2017 general election.
Her failed campaign has been turned into a winning musical that absolutely insists itself upon you, not least because it stars the personable Seddon as herself.
