I have just received "An Invitation To A Unique Show", namely, THE
NATION`S FAVOURITE COMIC POEM, presented by the above
Welsh master of mirth, and convened at BBC Television Centre,
Shepherd`s Bush on Thursday 8 October at 7 p.m. The show will
"announce the results of the poll to find the Nation`s Favourite
Comic Poem and will include performances from poets such as Spike
Milligan, John Hegley, Benjamin Zephaniah, Roger McGough and Robert
Shepherd." (I`m doing this from memory.) "Joining them in this feast
of some of our funniest verse will be Prunella Scales, Jane Horrocks,
Des Lynam and a host of other celebrities."
There is a strict upper limit on group bookings (no more than 54).
And I`m sorry, Keston, but children under 16 years of age will not be
admitted. (I can say that `cos he`s in South Africa.)
Sadly, the trip down from Glasgow is far too dangerous for someone as
fragile and stupid as myself, but I am posting this here now today in
order that one lucky fucker on the british-poets list can benefit
from my misfortune. Should you wish to attend the event, please
backchannel me forthwith on a first come first served basis and
superstructure and I will pass on the form with which one applies for
tickets.
(A final word: William Hill`s have In Praise of Wanking at 2/1 on.
Worth a fiver of anyone`s money, that.)
THIS IS NOT A HOAX! REPEAT: THIS IS NOT A HOAX!
all best
robin
