Things Fell Apart - T1526306812Things Fell Apart is the live version of Jon's hit BBC Radio 4 podcast. Jon will tell stories from the show, and some brand new stories too. There'll be audio and rare video clips, surprise guests and a Q&A. These past few years Jon has watched friends get caught up in the online culture wars to such a degree they've lost everything - their careers, their wellbeing. And by culture wars, Jon means the battle for dominance between conflicting values. Jon wanted to understand how things fell apart, and so he went back in time to find the origin stories, the pebbles thrown in the pond creating the ripples. He had no idea how unexpected, how spellbinding, those tales would be. | |

An Evening of Public Shaming - T1525953862Have you ever made a joke on Twitter that accidently came out wrong and as a consequence you have been torn apart by a crazy mob? Have you ever been part of a crazy mob tearing someone apart for telling a joke on Twitter that came out wrong? Have you ever committed a workplace transgression and now you've got the terrible feeling that someone is onto you? Jon Ronson has. Actually Jon Ronson hasn't. Just kidding. Jon Ronson hasn't done anything wrong. However, he's spent the past three years with people who have - documenting the destruction close up. And now he's ready to tell the tale. Simultaneously hilarious and powerful in the way only Jon can be, An Evening of Public Shaming with Jon Ronson is an illustrated one-man show about the renaissance of public shaming, and our very scary part in it. It's a follow-up to Jon's wildly successful book The Psychopath Test, although this time around the crazy people are us. It's a story about how we've become soldiers in a war on human nature and its flaws - and how there's been an escalation in hostilities. | |

Jon Ronson's Frank Talk - T1883594665For three years, in the late 1980s, Jon Ronson was the keyboard player with the Frank Sidebottom Oh Blimey Big Band. Frank wore a big papier-m?ch? head - nobody outside his inner circle knew his true identity. Frank Talk is the true story behind a soon-to-be-released fictionalized movie co-written by Jon about Frank Sidebottom. Part funny memoir, part movie diary, this is a tribute to outsider artists too wonderfully strange to ever make it in the mainstream. | |
