Choke on your chips

   Posted by: admin   in Uncategorized

If you happen to be reading this hooked up wirelessly in a steak house hotspot, take a mo to chew on this bonkers fact of the year:

the meat and dairy industry produces more climate corrupting pollution than all the planes, lorries and cars on the planet.

While you swallow, those of you who’ve known us for a while may remember Diego Brown and the Good Fairy playing a few gigs at a cabaret club in Soho a few years ago. Those eclectic and surreal events were organised by mysterious funny man Dan Antopolski - now an Edinburgh Fringe Festival award winner. (So we know someone really quite famous, OK?)

Not just a beardy face, Dan is also a talented musician, brilliant comic and now an environmental campaigner (how many hot things can one man do?) And lately he has been helping massively in putting together a line-up of very funny people on 12 November at the Hammersmith Apollo. They are:

  • Chris Addison
  • Dan Antopolski
  • Hils Barker
  • Marcus Brigstocke
  • Richard Herring
  • Russell Howard
  • Stephen Merchant
  • Francesca Martinez
  • Lucy Porter
  • Mark Watson
  • And there will be a special guest appearance from Razorlight.
It’s all in support of Friends of the Earth’s new campaign to get the Government to stop being so silly about the meat and dairy industry. Silly in the sense that they pay £700 million every year to prop up factory farming when they should be spending that money on local and organic farmers. Because factory farming = rainforests on toast.

And get over to ticketmaster while there are still some tickets left for 12 November.
Or we won’t be your friends any more.
Love the Low-Meat High Protein Siblings.
