No Rock And Roll Fun

BENN AT BEDTIME: A few years back we went to see Mitch Benn doing live comedy in Liverpool, and were distraught when he came on carrying a guitar, as it's a very rare that anyone who sings their comedy is good enough to make an evening making eye contact with them anything more than uncomfortable. But, actually, Mitch is pretty funny, and he's got a wonderful ear which puts his parodies on a par with - often above - Phil Pope's work for Radio Active and Spitting Image. All of which is by way of a plug for Mitch Benn's Crimes against Music on Radio 4, tonight at 11pm.
