DISCOMBOBULATE @ GLASGOW INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL 2010
PRESS RELEASE
Prestigious
Lit Wit venue
DiScoMbObUlaTe is
reeling from the apparent theft of private correspondence
ahead of its comedy festival opening. To prevent the
perpetrators benefiting from the fruits of their crime,
spokesman Ian Macpherson has taken the unprecedented step
of releasing said correspondence into the public domain.
Here are two samples.
Your Esteemed Holiness The Present Archbishop Of Dublin,
My father was a great fan of standup comedy, so every
Sunday, without fail, he went to mass. You were his parish
priest at the time. Fancy a spot at
DiScoMbObUlaTe?
Dear Flann O’Brien,
Thank you for your enquiry. I note from your Wikipedia
entry, however, that you died in 1966. For this reason we
won’t be asking you to read at
DiScoMbObUlaTe. But this is
not to denigrate your incalculable contribution to world
literature. Let’s just call it bad timing.
