John Kearns: Swapping Parliament for perverts

John Kearns is still getting used to life as the next big thing. Until a couple of months ago, he still had a full-time day job. By day he would lead school parties and WI groups around the green benches and lobbies of Westminster as a tour guide at the Houses of Parliament. By night he would pack up a bag with among other things a tonsure wig, a toy horse, false teeth, a dress and a Bruce Springsteen CD and hit the circuit.
