Paul Levy talks to writer, comedian and History teacher Andy Thomas about Des Kapital’s Never Mind the Cossacks, a comedy and music piece that was a hit at Brighton Fringe 2017. “Communist crooner Des Kapital (Gulag’s Got Talent, The Ex-Soviet Republic Factor) is glasnost all over to present the history of the Soviet Union using the music of Taylor Swift (Blank State), Ed Sheeran (Sinking Out Loud), Katy Perry (Perestroika Hurls), Robbie Williams (Engels), Madonna (Lands Were Virgin) and many more! Hilarious and weirdly educational, entertaining and tragic. The whole history in one hour. With comedian and history teacher Andy Thomas.”
