(In fact he's seen the news from both sides, having been in the tabloids himself.) But recently the news has been so absurd, chaotic and overwhelming that it more or less mocks itself. Where do we go from here? Topical Storm is Daliso's response. A show not about THE news but about news itself. Journalists, bloggers, fake news, satirical news: have we lost the thread of it all? Is the reporting of news endlessly polarising us as a society rather than educating us? Would we be better off going right back to the first ever news bulletin - the original caveman drawing on a wall – and starting from scratch? Daliso does just that in this explosive new standup show.

Thursday 12 March 2026 Venue:  Salisbury Arts Centre     map   Comedy Address:   Bedwin Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 3UT Telephone:  Box office: 01722 320 333 Event:  Kevin Precious: The Reluctant Teacher - 7.30pm - Kevin Precious used to be a teacher. He enjoyed the teaching part; it was the stuff that goes with it that was a drag. So he left. Determined to get a 'Grown Up Career' after years spent as a musician, Kevin trained as a Religious Studies Teacher, despite being an affirmed sceptic and non-believer. Whilst wrangling with disinterested kids in various Secondary Schools in Sussex during the day, Kevin increasingly pursued the business of stand-up comedy at night… inevitably something had to give. The show is a funny overview of the pitfalls and pratfalls that go with Kevin’s former profession of teaching; with a bit of pedagogical stuff (ooh-er) thrown in for good measure.
