Interiors/Perverted By language

I am co-writing a site-specific theatre piece for the M’cr festival with Johnny Vegas. Interiors will premiere at the first-ever Manchester International Festival, a highbrow arts event which starts on June 28. Speaking at the festival’s launch, Vegas promised: ‘I’m breaking free of what theatre ought to be.’ On the 1st of July I will be reading a bit of a story from a new book of stories inspired by Fall song titles, called Perverted By Language, before a show by The Fall in M’cr.

JOHNSON AND BOSWELL – LIVE AND LATE

I am devising an improvised piece for the Traverse, for the second 2 weeks of the festival, in Edinburgh in August. Miles Jupp will be in this.

90’s COMEDIAN ON DVD – SECOND PRESSING + RICHARD HERRING DVD/ PEA GREEN BOAT

Cardiff Comedy mavericks Go Faster Stripe shot the show in February last year, and it’s available on DVD for only £10. I plan to flog these at gigs in late 2007 but the initial two print runs of 2000 are nearly sold out, and there is now a third run planned. Check their website to get them, and please don’t bootleg them all over the place and sell them on e-bay. I NEED THIS. www.gofasterstripe.com

Richard Herring, who I used to work with, has exactly copied me as usual by doing a DVD with Go Faster Stripe too, “The 12 Tasks Of Hercules Terrace”. New DVDs from Simon Munnery, Richard Herring, Robin Ince and Tony Law are in the pipeline from a company set up to market comedians not famous enough for large-scale releases.

My 2002 show Pea Green Boat will soon be out via GFS as an audio cd and limited edition vinyl 10” single.

WHAT’S ON?

I was writing for What’s On, doing funny columns. It went bust last week owing me a life-changing amount of money, having never paid me for anything. I’ll put the accursed columns up on the soon to be redesigned website, www.stewartlee.co.uk

THE FLASH

I have a very short story in this new book, The Flash. It can be purchased through Amazon here. If you want to buy copies, you can purchase them at a reduced rate of £5.50 by sending a cheque (or international money order if you are outside the UK) made out to H Garwood at the following address: 11 Haymans Point / Tyers Street / London / ENGLAND / SE11 5NT. Postage & package for additional copies is free in the UK.
Outside of the UK, it’s $8 per book for up to 5 books with $16 for a package of more than 5 books.
