‘If there`s one thing I can`t stand… it`s the creeping commercialisation of secular Christmas shows`
Stewart Lee
‘Welcome to my folly‘, declared Robin Ince as he opens Nine Lessons…, his massive sell-out Rationalist Celebration of comedy and science for Christmas.
With a star-studded line-up included Richard Dawkins, Stewart Lee, Josie Long, Simon Singh, Richard Herring, Gavin Osbourne, Isy Suttie, Ben Goldacre, Andrew Collins, Waen Shepherd, Christina Martin and Philip Jeays – all accompanied by Martin White and his amazing Mystery Fax Machine Chamber Orchestra. What more could you ask for?….
Oh go on then, as it’s Christmas there’s also interview contributions from Dara O’Briain and Jarvis Cocker.
