Emily Maitlis: You Couldn’t Make This Sh*t Up!
Emily Maitlis: You Couldn’t Make This Sh*t Up!
7:00pm, Tuesday 21st of October, St Marylebone Church London
From that Prince Andrew interview to prime ministers toppling like dominoes. From pandemic-era chaos to billionaire Presidents dodging bullets. The last five years in global news have felt more like a fever dream than reality.
Join us for a conversation with legendary broadcaster and News Agents host Emily Maitlis to unpack the most mind-bending, meme-worthy, and momentous stories of recent years. The kind that prove truth really is stranger than fiction.
From Capitol riots to royal rifts, media madness to misinformation, this is a night to ask, has the news permanently crossed into the realm of dark satire?
We’ll dive into:
Britain’s political circus
Elon, Trump, AI and horrific global conflict
And of course… the story behind that interview (clearly still relevant in 2025)
Plus, big questions about the news itself like how do stories get chosen? Can we still trust what we’re seeing? And what story left Emily herself completely speechless?
One night and a thousand headlines. You couldn’t make this sh*t up, but Emily Maitlis might be able to explain it.
The talk will finish with an audience Q&A and then stick around for drinks and debriefing.
