Robin Ince meets The Fall

Boo Woo oo oo
Spare a little greed
Spare a little greed

And today, here on the Vitamin B Glandular Show…

Wanking With Louis In Saudi

The edges of the edgy comic
Are a geometry of non-Euclidean bigotry
(I’d accepted the contract.
Much discussion in this institution)

He challenges the powerless eagerly
Loves to be derogatory
Though carefully
So he won’t damage his lovely, lovely fee

And his cheerleaders add the illusion that
His punching down has nobility

Free speech, free speech,
Free,
He declares
Before taking a pile of cash from Saudi

His speech is never free
Whose got the biggest case of money
Shake hands with sheiks and kings
Who execute their critics

And then make excuses that
Your appearance was actually an ironic take
On Human rights abuses

Are you going to the Riyadh comedy festival?
It’s a large type artist ranch

I am not going to Riaydh, I’m going to Rochdale.
