★★★★★ "There can be few more accomplished raconteurs at the Fringe than James Nokise." — The Wee Review

★★★★★ "Nokise is a joy to have onstage." — The Scotsman

There's three things you can count on this election year: ministerial soundbites that age like milk, policy walk-backs hours after announcements, and James Nokise having hot comedic takes on the chaotic campaigns around the country.

One Night Rant returns in 2026 with a new hour of frenetic, furious, funny stand-up aimed at politicians across the spectrum — no party or policy is safe. Book early: this is the one show where the news cycle does half the research for a night of comedy, catharsis, and fist-shaking, boot-stomping fun.

"If you've long suspected Parliament might be a comedy of errors full of farcical characters, this show will bring receipts." — James Nokise

And a few unsolicited character references:

"The cheapest hour of therapy you'll get this election year." — A Ministerial Press Secretary, speaking anonymously (obviously)

"The funniest hour you'll spend this election year." — Every Political Reporter in the Press Gallery, off the record

"He's coming all this way to vent about politicians. Least you can do is turn up." — A Local Resident, speaking voluntarily (allegedly)
