The Play that Goes Wrong performing at The Royal Variety Performance
A taster of what I mentioned in the last post, the play is in fact funnier.

Bill Hicks
My favourite Bill Hicks quote, taken from 'Sane Man 1989';
“I was in Nashville, Tennessee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me: 'Hey, whatcha readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest fuckin' question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading FOR? Well, goddamnit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well . . . hmmm...I dunno...I guess I read for a lot of reasons and the main one is so I don't end up being a fuckin' waffle waitress. Then this trucker in the booth next to me gets up, stands over me and says [mocks Southern drawl] 'Well, looks like we got ourselves a readah'"
I think everyone can learn from watching Bill Hicks, his comedy was intelligent and he often questioned 'the man', inspiring a generation of anti-establishment comedians. This article
