Jupitus takes a satirical look at the Big Society

Comedian Phill Jupitus is starring in a new political satire called Big Society which is a spoof music hall show poking fun at Prime Minister David Cameron, the coalition government and pretty much everyone else in a position of power.

So is this a return to an age-old tradition of sending up the establishment on stage?

The BBC's Entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson went along to rehearsals.
