How to Be Rich and Thin
Pauline Curtin believes that Wallis Simpson was right, "You can never be too Rich or too Thin". But instead of a prince Pauline married frogs. The frogs paid alimony, enabling her to travel first class in a fanciful world where 'authentic' is only useful if it describes a fur coat. And lettuce is as 'green' as she'll go.

Le Flop
The above photo was taken by self-timer just as the deadline was approaching. It shows hair being eaten and also used as a moustache. Expect much stronger stuff in the actual show. Also, the photo had to be 250 x 250 pixels and we didn’t know what this meant. I digress. The show is comedy clown. Suitable for ages 18+.

Andrew and the Pony
'Andrew and the Pony' seeks the truth where others dare not, a bit like Indiana Jones where they end up in a cave drinking elixir but without that scary whip and the Nazis. A force majeure of storytelling, song, accompanying evidence via video links. Future reviews might say "The Pony had a lovely smile" (Equine Weekly).
