Comedy
Robin Ince is hosting the next School For Gifted Children night at the Albany near Great Portland Street tube next Wednesday, June 25, and can't be bothered to advertise it. I know I'm on the bill, and so is Ben Goldcare, and Josie Long talking about astronomy, Jo Neary doing some new characters, Waen Shepherd "reading a thing maybe" (Robin's very vague about the bill, but that's half the fun of it), Martin White doing a musical turn "and other such things." So come along. These are brilliant nights, as Tristan, who attended the last one and posted a lengthy review, will testify. I'll be talking about terrorism and The Poseidon Adventure, clearly.
And, while we're plugging, my friend Simon Day (with whom I am still regularly plotting to take over television and/or film) is touring - as himself! - in November. This is the new photograph on the posters. The show is called What A Fool Believes. I don't have a link to the dates yet, but I'll add one here when I do.

Oh crap, it's the day I leave for Glastonbury. I enjoyed hearing about your top ten serial killers last time.

So, how was the gig last night? I couldn't make it in the end but hopefully I'll get to the next one.
Only fitfully attended due to lack of advertising, and minus Ben Goldacre, who had to pull out, it struggled gamely last night, but the selective audience were as attentive and enthusiastic as ever with Robin's nights. I particularly enjoyed Waen Shepherd's childhood stories and Jo Neary's Celia Johnson routine. My Poseidon Adventure deconstruction went on too long, but it needs honing and it was the first time I'd performed it. There's a reasonably kind review by Bruce Dessau here.
Ah well, hopefully the next ones will be better advertised. The turnout last time was great.
Is it usually a similar bunch "performing" or just coincidence that you, Ben, Jo etc were on the bill again?
Robin has his favourites. It's like being part of a family.
