ONLINE TICKETS: Graham Linehan's Send-Off

FSU Events

Join us to celebrate the work and campaigning of Graham Linehan and to wish him well as he departs for a new chapter in the USA.

<h3>Comedy, Controversy, Bravery and Vindication</h3><h4>A farewell evening with GRAHAM LINEHAN, as he leaves us for the USA</h4>Monday 20th January, 7.30pmHaving cut his teeth in music journalism, Graham Linehan became the finest sitcom writer of his generation. He captured the comedy zeitgeist not just as the co-creator of Father Ted but also with The IT Crowd and Black Books, winning five Baftas and a lifetime achievement award.Then his life took an unexpected turn. When he championed an unfashionable cause, TV commissioners no longer returned his emails, showbiz pals lost his number and his marriage collapsed. With only a few notable exceptions, the entertainment industry turned their back on him and he was treated as someone who had lost his mind or 'disappeared down the rabbit hole' of the trans debate.But Graham fought on and his dogged campaigning, alongside many others who also paid a high price for their willingness to speak the truth, has begun to turn the tide of gender ideology.He is now heading to the USA to work on a sitcom project with Andrew Doyle, so join us to give him a special FSU send-off.There will, of course, be plenty of time for audience Q and A.
