December Mailout

Dear all -

So, we've been pretty quiet since Edinburgh. Sorry about that. What have we been up to? Well...

Imagine in this paragraph there is a Rocky-style montage of training, shadowboxing, running up some steps, and telling some jokes. Jen also taught a lot of kids in this time.

Anyway, we now return, triumphant, to the ring. Or in this case three rings. Like a circus. And in we come, punching all the clowns, screaming "Adriaaan" at the performing seals, and... yeah, that's pretty much that for that mixed metaphor.

The three rings are:-

1) THE INTERNET. As you may have seen, we've revamped our website (http://www.pegabovine.co.uk/), and will use its newly orange-hue as a platform to launch "Pegabovine's House Of Mirth", our new podcast. Yes! A podcast! Like only futuristic kids and ROBOTS make! The first episode will hit the internet TONIGHT! Jeez! That's even quicker and more surprising than when Radiohead released their last album! The podcast is a variety show to allow us to try out some radio material, and to host some of our creative friends. First episode features Holly from Like A Thief singing a song, Luke Kennard reading poetry, and comedy from Girl And Dean, Stuart Goldsmith, The Actor Loo Brealey, Noel Byrne, and Lewis James. Keep your eyes on http://www.pegabovine.co.uk/!

2) THE RADIO. We are featuring in the first episode of the new series of "28 Acts In 28 Minutes" on BBC Radio 4 on THURSDAY 19th December at 6.30pm (and thereafter on Listen Again). We've got that all important thirteenth minute, as taken in the past by Dan Antopolski, Mark Watson, Howard Reed, Gary Le Strange, Pete Gold, and Maria Bamford. If you wanted to listen to only us, turn on your radio at 6.43pm and turn it off again at 6.44pm. That would be silly though - also featured in our show are Stewart Lee, The Puppini Sisters, Stephen K Amos, Jeff Green, Stuart Goldsmith & Hutch, and John Sessions. Amazing!

3) THE PUB IN CAMDEN HIGH STREET. Our second Christmas show is THIS FRIDAY. It is called "Pegabovine Present The Present Present From Pegabovine In The Present II" and starts at the nocturnal hour of 9.30pm. It features comedy from us, various shenanigans, music from Like A Thief, comedy from an unnamed comedy act (not a surprise, they just haven't told me their name), and a tape recording of Luke Kennard. It promises to be worth every penny of the five pounds entry fee! BOOM!

And then we have plans for the New Year, but we haven't decided what they are yet. Thanks for staying interested in us, and we hope you enjoy the festive treats we dollop on your comedic plate over the next... um... three days.

Merry Christmas!

Love,
Pegabovine

Um, can you give us a clue on how much this intriguing present may cost?
