So, youโre planning to go out-out, the decision rests on music or a night of comedy. An unnecessary dilemma, no need for a crystal ball, tarot cards or Paul the psychic octopus, you can do both in the land of chips n ham. In fact, if you happen to own a psychic octopus, this will be right up your street.
Iโve been waffling on the subject of comical music of recent, reviewing release from Monkey Bizzle, Death of Guitar Pop, Mr B, and Scott Lavene, but hereโs an evening not to be missed for your dancing shoes and funny bone alike.

Lord of whimsy himself, Brightonโs steampunk chap-hop artist Professor Elemental, whoโs been in a friendly feud with the very same Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer, goes head-to-head with Calneโs nonsensical Real Cheesemakers, and the ref will be Chippenhamโs own legend and Edinburgh Festival favourite Wil Hodgson in a night not to be missed or dissed.

One randomly selected lyric of Professor Elemental might whet your appetite, โthis oneโs for the crusty festivals and shows, where a fan tries to hug me and I get a dreadlock up my nose,โ and honey, heโs got rhymes you havenโt heard yet. Expect hilarity at the Old Town Tavern on 16th October, demand trousers, horses and dinosaurs, tickets are eight quid, a brown one on the door. Facebook yo bad self, tell ’em you want in.
