Aeneas Faversham Returns. The Underbelly. 6.10pm. Go forth and be mighty amused. These boys give one hope for British comedy; there is life after the catchphrase"comedy" crimes of the 21st century, and this time its dressed for high tea and dashing adventure.

What do you get when you send a trio of unstoppable eating and drinking
machines to a festival in the Highlands? Ophelia gets hysterical on
sugar (not just sugar, M and S sugar) and swans a new identity for
herself- all hail the birth of Lippy Pongstocking, Accordionista gets
covered in glitter and Dusty wins at whiskey-fuelled dirty Scrabble.

Coffee, cigarettes, cashmere, calamari, chorizo, cunting Jerry Sadowitz - the foul mouthed Fagin who has given me Tourettes Syndrome and a vile headache.
The highlight of Jerry's show having been about the man who breathed so loudly in front of us, that he sounded like the Seasame Street's Snuffleophegus. That's right, the best thing I can say about his show was that I can be mean about his fans.

Hola! Pig Girl reporting, having danced my little trotters off in the name of geeky comedy and having just made my cocktail-sodden way out of the Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players wonderful show. Retro-tastic songs and slides with the sweetest young lady drummer. I fear for the day a model-scout gets a look at her.
Am supposed to be being good this evening as its Big Telly Day tomorrow and someone has decided its a good idea to interview me. Talking about myself for an hour is never a hardship but having to possibly sacrifice the delights of the Urban Voodoo Machine at the Bongo is a bloody difficultship. See you down there yeah?!
