			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Skepchick <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.sundayssupplement.com">Iszi Lawrence</a> </span>returns to Camden for another performance of Matter of Tact. If you missed it last time, you&#8217;ll be pleased to know you can catch it again.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Ever find that your life seems to mirror perfectly the geopolitical zeitgeist? Caught between Christian friends and her Muslim family, Iszi Lawrence shows how a die hard sceptic can still join in. Living with creationists, arguing over teddy bears and confused by anything supernatural, Matter of Tact is packed with silly stories and theories, trying to make sense of an age old problem.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>- Comedy Pick London Lite<br />
- Time Out Recommended</p>
<p>For only £10 (£8.50 for members) you not only get a sceptical giggle with iszi but also support from the infamous Tom Greeves.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://bigtommygspeaks.blogspot.com/"></a></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://bigtommygspeaks.blogspot.com/">Tom Greeves</a></span> is one of Oxford&#8217;s finest comedians and also was Boris Johnson&#8217;s speech writer during the recent election. Tom Greeves combines serial killer good looks with an extraordinary mind, which delights and occasionally disturbs audiences. Alas, he wont be doing a Tory speech but you&#8217;re guaranteed to laugh anyway.</p>
