Admin

What is it like to be obsessed with a 15 hour-long cycle of late Romantic operas sung in German? Giacinto Palmieri loves Richard Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung so much that he told the plot to all his ex-girlfriends (note the ex). Now he wants to do the same with his audience. Hear all about dwarfs, giants, Walkyries, magic helms, love potions ... and their connection with office parties, IKEA, Facebook and modern dating rituals. A show for those who love Wagner, those who hate Wagner, and those for whom he's just an X Factor contestant.

How NOT to flyer + act goes nude in Cosmo to plug show

So, yesterday I was rushing (oh yes I was) round the edge of Bristo Square to get to a comedy show when this young and rather dodgy-looking bloke came at me. He looked coked-up and aggressive and I thought was going to ask me for money. In fact, he grabbed me strongly by the arm, did not tell me about any show but told me I had to take a flyer for the undescribed and un-named show he was pushing. Apparently I had to take the flyer, I had to touch fists with him and I had to tell him that 100% I was going to go to the show.
