Neither Am I: Live at the 2010 Peckham Literary festival

Thursday 18th November @ Review Bookshop, Bellenden Road, Peckham

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Peckham…

The greasepaint-drenched, four-humped, lame literary pantomime horse Neither Am I lumbers back into the dazzling limelight of the Peckham Literary Festival 2010 this month, with a mystery cast of anonymous verb-spouters to speak words directly into your lugholes.

Following their exemption from arts and culture cuts due to a loophole in the regulatory mechanism, Neither Am I will be celebrating a subsequent funding windfall from unclaimed Arts Council assets by drafting in a stellar line-up of minor novelists and major assholes, regaling a frankly drunk audience with tales of Booker glory, unconscious lust, fake murderers, fear of people and, of course, sausages.

Featuring very special guest appearances from Howard Jacobson, Howard Jacobson, Howard Jacobson, Howard Jacobson and Howard Jacobson.

Arrive early for a complimentary glass of wine to soothe the pain.

And there'll be music from the worryingly hip Feeding Time DJs till kicking out time at one.

The launch party for our new book is approaching: Friday 26th March at the Cavendish Arms in Stockwell. Ninety per cent fresh material and one or two personal favourites from the back catalogue.

We are running a competition for tuckerizations. Email us at neither_am_i@yahoo.com with your full name and the subject line 'Tucker Me Up' and, if you're one of the names drawn from a hat, you'll find yourself appearing in a highly compromising position in a story to be read on the evening.

Hidden Faces

Book at bedtime the fourth: lose yourself in a cocktail of De Sadean renaissance exotica with an idealist SF twist.
