Join the team behind the independent investigative news outlet Byline Times for an entertaining evening of challenging discussion to help us understand the unprecedented times we are living in – and why they are happening – with those with an inside track.
There’s no shortage of strong opinions in Britain today – what’s missing is good-faith debate. Too much of our national conversation has become performative. It seems designed to inflame rather than illuminate.
That’s why Byline Times launched our series of ‘Out of the Comfort Zone’ events at the Cockpit in 2025. These interactive discussions have sparked genuinely unexpected and illuminating moments.
At a time when many of Britain’s most powerful media proprietors remain distant and unseen, Byline Times does the opposite: we step out from behind the editorial line and into the room.
Hosted by Byline Times Editor-in-Chief Hardeep Matharu and Co-Founder Peter Jukes, plus a wide-ranging variety of guest authors, campaigners and thought leaders. Previous guests have included: broadcaster and academic Bonnie Greer, journalist and activist Femi Oluwole, novelist Jake Arnott, Camerados founder Maff Potts, XR and Humanity Project co-founder Clare Farrell, author and Women’s Equality Party co-founder Catherine Mayer, Conservative commentator Albie Amankona, investigative journalist and author Nafeez Ahmed, Asylum Speakers founder Jaz O’Hara, author and broadcaster John Sweeney and many many more…
In addition to current affairs, there’s also laughter, readings, music, poetry – there’s even been dancing and a good old sing song round the old Joanna – every night is different!
