Milton Jones in Milton Impossible  Sat 25 Jan

Milton’s brand new stand-up show for 2020. One man. One Mission. Is it possible? No, not really.
Milton reveals the truth about being an international spy, before being given a disappointing new identity which forced him to appear on Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo. Just gloriously daft nonsense or is there a deeper meaning?
