TEN GIGS - CHAPTER TWO Hoddeston, 1988.

Thanks for all the kind words about this.
It was hard, but I think healthy, to write.

If you want to sign up, I've set the price literally as low as it can go. Thanks.

Sometimes, when I am down, I remember the guy that tried to bully me for years at Covent garden, and how, a decade later, he asked my agent if he could be my support act on tour and I told them to tell him to go fuck himself.

HIGNFYUS spending MINUTES making fun of Kash Patel's appearance rather than, oh, y'know, the hundreds of insanely stupid and evil things he does on a daily basis, is not peak satire

a photography of a stack of cigar boxes from the top down. branding on the top box with my name and picture on, in old fashioned style like an old vaudeville poster, completely coincendentally and delightfully in trans flag colours
