5 After monopolising social media streams each morning after The Mash Report went out on BBC2, Rachel Paris’s own brand of bullet-fast razor-sharp satire with a smile has gone stratospheric. So, wisely, now that the show has gone on hiatus Paris is off on tour with her solo show Keynote. Under the premise that she is a guest speaker at her old school she explores what kind of message she’d like to pass on to impressionable minds via the mediums of stand-up, character and
musical comedy.
