OK. So at last I may have been spurned (by Mr. Kostyanovsky) into actually thinking about this bloody brain drain of a project and have come up with a title. Or at least a subject. An unrefined vein of ore waiting to be forged into a deadly sabre of… Words and shit.
Something to do with the impact/influence of comedians (particularly satirical ones) on politics throughout the ages.
My starting point for this will be “The Naked Jape” by Jimmy Carr and Lucy Greeves, a fantastic book on (not of) jokes that I strongly recommend. From there I’m not sure, but now at least I can be said to have done something during the months we have been doing this thing.
