DVDs
My three DVDs, (including the brand new "menage a un" - the best one yet) as well as some Stewart Lee and Simon Munnery products are still available from
http://www.gofasterstripe.com
Please buy them if you haven't already in order to help this band of Welsh misfits record even more obscure comedians (I will be filming the 40 show on 21st March at Chapter Arts).
Hope to see you at one of those gigs! Do come and say hello. I'll be in the bar afterwards, drinking tap water!
