For about nine months, Simon Jay has been getting noticed for his one-man show Trumpageddon in which he riffs as the esteemed President Elect, who gets inaugurated this Friday. "Are you doing anything to celebrate?" I asked Simon via Skype this morning. "I'm going to go on Facebook Live," he told me, "and, at 5.00pm (UK time), as you watch the inauguration on TV, you'll be able to hear his thoughts streamed via Facebook Live - as voiced by me."
