Hunting For The Oddest Books Ever.

This was in the recently returned section of my local library at Kentish Town, which I joined at the weekend. Maybe I’ve led a sheltered life… I just had no idea…

Oddest book title

This is exactly the sort of thing that would go down well at the book club I'm sure.

The Book Club - Lowdown at the Albany

This weeks Book Club had a few more passing comedians jump up on stage, namely Sarah Kendall and Paul from the Trap. I haven't seen Sarah before, though I know she is one of the few female comics to be nominated for the Perrier in recent years. She seems like a very natural performer.

Martin covered the Backstreet Boy's Everybody (Backstreet's Back), Pulp's This is Hardcore, and Spark's This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us in his own imitible accordianing style.

Bennett Arron did what was at times a painful set of jokes. He still not the most confident of performers, which reflects negatively on his material.

Books from Robin Ince this week included another read from the British Massage Parlours Guide Vol. 3, written sometime in the 1970's and of course from a Mills and Boons. This week Diamond Stud, another early 80's classic, judging by it's cover.

And Live Boggle returned.

I think we might be addicted to this anarchic mixture of comedy... I get withdrawals when we don't go.
