A nice little idea. Do a show about 2006 by writing songs about each month, and throw in a couple of others. Illustrate it with six calendars, including a Cliff Richard calendar, a totally naff Garfield one, one featuring 12 different types of turd, and so on. We started in January with the London whale outing itself in the Thames and Mark Oaten being outed, which worked surprisingly well. This was followed by a song on bird flu. By March we were back to politics with Slobodan Miloševic is dead. This continued in April with a song telling Tony Blair to fuck off. It says something about the unpopularity of the Prime Minister that you can now do a song like this and assume you will get laughs. Part of the Free Fringe so it needn't cost you a penny to see it.
