The Punk Poet.
He performed a bit of stand-up before i saw The Fall a couple of years ago. He was actually pretty good!!
Has anyone else heard of him, or seen him perform?

i met him about 10 years ago in brighton
he was doing a gig and turned up about an hour late, off his trolley on smack and drink
he was a stick insect then, just as he is now i bet
highly intelligent and observant bloke though...

He was played on radio Triple J ( yer trendy lefty, commo student type station ) in Oz some years back. I loved his stuff. Very thought provoking, but as with a lot of this stuff - done from the comfortable position of not having to live it 24 hours a day.
