Robert Wringham returns to live comedy. Plus a chicken sexing fall-back.
Robert Wringham is what Americans would call a hyphenate. He does all sorts of things. Basically he is a writer of humorous books; plus he has written two histories of alternative comedy; and he is editor of the New Escapologist magazine which "takes the stance that work has too central a position in Western life". He has appeared in previous blogs here and is currently co-producing Melt It! a documentary film about The Iceman. We were supposed to be having a chat about Robert's live performance at the Glasgow Comedy Festival this week. But I am not one to keep to the subject...
