AWARD-WINNING comedian Robin Ince starts a nationwide tour next month, appearing at the second annual Greenwich Comedy Festival.
His show will be based on his new book The Bad Book Club, which is a compilation and celebration of the world’s worst, and inadvertently hilarious, books.
His treasure trove of under-appreciated classics includes vengeful beast horrors such as Crabs on the Rampage, (where Wales is the unlikely setting of a sociopathic crustacean invasion), romance sub-genres from the equine Diamond Stud to the gynaecological Sign of the Speculum and celebrity autobiography such as Syd Little’s Little Goes a Long Way and his later volume Little By Little.
Robin Ince at the Greenwich Comedy Festival. Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich. September 7. For more details on all the events happening at the Greenwich Comedy Festival, visit greenwichcomedyfestival.co.uk
