He’s going to be touring a few cities in America this spring, and then Robin Ince is going to Australia for more shows. Everyone should go.
I can’t help but notice, though, that while he’s happy to flit off to some terrible arid desert full of deadly animals and sheep, he hasn’t added a certain bucolic tiny village in rural Minnesota to his tour. There aren’t any poisonous snakes or giant spiders or drop bears in Morris, Minnesota…just corn and soybeans and desolate plains of drifting snow, thinly populated by humorless farmers of Scandinavian descent. It sounds like an ideal setting for a comedian!

And, all-you-can-eat lutefisk!
Grewgills says
I hope he has a reinforced umbrella for the drop bears!

That is not a recommendation.
The point of traveling is to be eaten by a poisonous giant drop spider-bear.

Well it does make for a more interesting epitaph. “Died naturally at a statistically average old age” is just so dry.

[Robin Ince is] going to be touring a few cities in America this spring …
Yes, but why not BOSTON??? Infinite Monkey Cage would be so well received by the MIT nerds there, that they should pass it by is just Inconceivable. Mannnnnn, I gotta take the train (Acela) down to NYC to catch their single night there, but Neil deGrasse Tyson will make it astronomically worthwhile.

Superb comedian. He closes the Cheltenham Science Festival every year, and it’s a fine way to finish the week. But for some reason they always give him the shittiest marquee for his gig, one about a hundred feet wide and three and a half feet deep. Or maybe that’s the venue he asks for…

Thanks for passing on the word, PZ! Now there’s a video too:
