Podcast appearances and mentions of Quentin Crisp

Artist Pam Glick is the quintessential gritty New York artist. Born in Albany and raised partly on an aristocrat's estate in England, she spent her rebellious teen years smoking pot and hitchhiking in search of Woody Guthrie while her glamorous laissez-faire parents imbued her with the confidence and optimism that has seen her through the many chapters in her extraordinary life, including living and working in New York - where she would hang out in cafes chatting to the likes of Quentin Crisp, and where she had a basement studio next to Richard Prince - to raising kids, divorce and surviving cancer. Through it all, she has never stopped creating. Known for her instinctive use of colour and emotionally resonant abstraction, Glick studied Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she received the Florence Leif Award, and later earned her MFA from the University of Buffalo. Her work was widely shown throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with solo exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles. Her paintings have also featured in group exhibitions at Pat Hearn Gallery, the Drawing Center, and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. More recently, she has held solo exhibitions at White Columns (2016) and The Journal Gallery, New York (2021). For this conversation, Danielle Radojcin met Pam at the Maruani Mercier gallery in Brussels, which is holding an exhibition of her work.

Since the revival of Othello with Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhall is tearing it up on Broadway and the Los Angeles Rennaisannce Faire in full swingit seems an opportune time to replay our Shakespearean episode with Lisa Ann Goldsmith and Owen Thompson of the award winning podcast "The Bardcast: It's Shakespeare You DicK"  Podcasts collide this week as Mark and Nicole welcome actor/directors/scholars Lisa Ann Goldsmith and Owen Thompson of the award winning podcast "The Bardcast - It's Shakespeare You Dick!" to the lighter side of the dark side. Lisa Ann and Owen discussed the amount of dick jokes and sex in Shakespeare's work, how technology is proving he wrote his plays and also that he likely was a stoner and a bit of a thug. They break down the good and the bad in the new Tragedy of Macbeth and other Shakespearean films. Lisa Ann talks about starring in the show "Chicks with Dicks" (the dick is not where you would think) and Russell Crowe being a bit of a diva until you stand up to him. Owen talked about directing immersive theater, what it was like to cast legendary author Quentin Crisp in drag and how their podcast got its provocative name from bikers at a Renaissance Fair and more...

Stuart Murdoch is my guest on this episode of That's How I Remember It. Stuart is the lead singer and songwriter of classic band Belle & Sebastian, who have consistently released amazing music since the mid '90s. He's now also the author of a great new novel Nobody's Empire, which mirrors his own personal experiences with chronic fatigue syndrome in the time leading up to the formation of B&S. We talked about that as well as Abba, Bay City Rollers, Come on Eileen, CS Lewis, writing letters to Quentin Crisp, Inland taipans, and so much more. It was a thrill for me to have Stuart on the show, I'm a huge fan, and I think we had a great talk. Listen and subscribe!

Dubbelliv, avslöjande, konfrontation och försoning. Att komma ut bär på en oemotståndligt kraftfull dramaturgi. Kristofer Folkhammar ser hur brottet med normen blir mindre heroisk i ny litteratur. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad 2018-12-20.Han jag går hos, säger att det är viktigt att bejaka det givna misslyckandet i relationen mellan terapeut och klient. Redan vid andra mötet gjorde han en svepande gest mot den rågade hyllmetern böcker som hänger bakom honom, strax ovanför hans huvud, sett från där jag brukar sitta. Alla de här böckerna, sa han, handlar om misslyckanden i terapisituationen. Han lutade sig snett bakåt, hängde lite över stolens karm och log mot mig. Utstrålade någon sorts varm, skärpt uppgivenhet, jag vet inte. Han har försökt att förklara vad han menar i över ett år nu.Genom att låta terapeuten ta mer plats, så att också hens önskningar och tillkortakommanden blir genomlysta i terapisituationen, kan en mer relationell dynamik växa fram, jämfört med i klassisk psykodynamisk terapi.Mänsklig kommunikation bär alltid på förväntningar och missförstånd. Och genom att vara vaksam på dessa brister kan man komma åt något läkande, tycks han mena.Jag kommer alltid på för sent att jag ska be honom förklara ordentligt.Jag cyklar hem genom Malmö. Staden tickar framåt i diset. Människor upprätthåller sina liv, sina vardagar, sina utmätta linjer med skilda förutsättningar, mellan samma inbjudande skyltfönster. Jag försöker få bukt med en ångestproblematik genom att gå i terapi. Jag jobbar med litteratur.Terapi är liksom litteratur ett arbete med form och språk. Och eftersom han jag går hos säger, att misslyckandet är centralt för att förstå terapisituationen, börjar jag undra över misslyckandets plats i det jag läser.Att misslyckas med att göra kön och sexualitet i enlighet med heteronormen kan kallas en queer praktik. Åtminstone i efterhand. Efter ensamhet, efter självhat.Och när jag tänker på gestaltningar av queera erfarenheter, tänker jag att misslyckandet framför allt tar plats på två olika sätt. Sätt som man kalla strategier.Om man tar makten över det hånfulla skratt som kastas emot en, är man med och skapar världen.Den ena strategin handlar om omkastning, och är rolig och skev, vi kan kalla den ”camp”. Den taktiken utgör sällan ramen för en berättelse, snarare är den ofta ett perspektiv eller en ”sensibilitet”, för att tala med Susan Sontag. Genom att vända misslyckandet till triumf, och i allvarsam och kärleksfull lek bejaka det överdrivna och artificiella som något underbart får den otillräckliga könsvarelsen en plats att skina på. Via fallna divor, smäktande musikal-snyftare och kasserade art nouveau-lampetter.”Misslyckande kan vara stil”, sa den brittiske författaren Quentin Crisp där han vankade omkring, ensam och pervers, i sin lortiga lilla lägenhet i 1950-talets London, i sitt ljusblåa hår. Om man tar makten över det hånfulla skratt som kastas emot en, är man med och skapar världen. Om man gör förolämpningen till en konstform, får man det roligare som offer.Den andra strategin handlar om att överskrida ett misslyckande. I berättelser om att komma ut som homo eller trans behöver ofta något lämnas och något nytt intas. Den ensamma hjälten växlar agrart mot urbant, isolering mot gemenskap, dolt mot synligt, för att slippa sitt utanförstående och, enkelt uttryckt, få vara sig själv.Dessa berättelser speglar en reell verklighet, där frågan om att komma ut är långt ifrån löst alla gånger. Däremot kan man konstatera att formen för den klassiska komma ut-berättelsen, slitits ut. Den bär ju på en så oemotståndligt kraftfull dramaturgi – med följeslagarna dubbelliv, avslöjande, konfrontation och försoning – att det låter sig göras som kittlande bihandling i snart sagt varje brett upplagt teve-drama på Svt. Det går inte att leva så, hör jag mig själv sucka i snålblåsten. När man lyckas undvika livets samtliga oförutsägbarheter, då lever man inte längre alls.Men så läser jag två samtida svenska romaner där misslyckandet i det queera livet förflyttas till en annan plats. Misslyckandet i dessa böcker kretsar kring ett språk som lovar mer än det håller.Tova Gerges roman ”Pojken” är en roman som är sin berättares blick. Huvudpersonen är från lantlig arbetarklass. I universitetsstaden åtrår han dominans. Inledningsvis, när han sitter i föreläsningssalen och får syn på Pojken, som ska bli hans älskare, står det: ”För mig har det erotiska och den strid jag utkämpar för att våga vistas här alltid haft något gemensamt. Det är strävan efter tillträde till en värld som förskönar det fula, extrapolerar det oklara, placerar mig på rätt sida linjerna.” Romanen följer sedan deras kärleksrelation, präglad av sado-masochistiska-lekar i ljuset av skilda klasserfarenheter.Romanen är snygg i det att den är skriven på ett sätt som överensstämmer med det den berättar om – hårt, exakt, i förhöjd kontroll. Och i berättarens längtan efter att kunna behärska sin omvärld, långt mer än bara sexuellt, börjar man som läsare efterhand ana ett självbedrägeri, eller åtminstone att han tagit sig för något han aldrig kan lyckas med.I mitten av boken får han syn på en trollslända. Betraktar den vackra kroppen. Han vill, liksom sländan med sina facettögon, kunna förutsäga sitt bytes nästa rörelse. Och även om det är en myt att trollsländor bara skulle leva en enda dag, så är det när berättarens blick faller på den glänsande insektskroppen som jag fattar att han är dömd att misslyckas. S/M-scenariots och de akademiska teoriernas löftesrika genomlysanden är bara hållbara ramverk i vissa lägen. Det går inte att leva så, hör jag mig själv sucka i snålblåsten. När man lyckas undvika livets samtliga oförutsägbarheter, då lever man inte längre alls.Niko, huvudpersonen i Elin Bengtssons roman ”Rosenregimen” har också hon lämnat landsbygden för ett liv i universitetsstaden. Driven av begär efter ett intellektuellt språk som innehåller ord som ”representation”, ”heteronormativitet” och ”politiska praktiker”. Ord, lika förtrollande och svårfångat värdefulla, som pengarna i handen på en nyrik. Hon träffar Emmy, blir blixtförälskad och genast sambo med matlådor och krukväxter. Erotiken är ett bländande kitt dem emellan, där Emmy lockar fram något hos Niko som hon själv kallar ”det som är flicka i mig” – något undergivet och sött. Men lägenheten och Emmys idé om tvåsamhet sluter sig klaustrofobiskt runt Niko, som inte bara vill in i universitetsspråket, utan också ut i natten.Det storslagna med ”Rosenregimen” är att den trots lyrisk precision och stora känslor, står och stampar så mycket. Det tar tid innan spänningen i tvåsamheten får faktiska konsekvenser. Det akademiska språket är både fantastiskt och otillräckligt när Niko försöker förstå sig själv och världen. Till slut får hon bara fram ett uppgivet ”aaa” när hennes olika livsvärldar och sätt att längta inte går ihop.I dessa smutsrosa gestaltningar får misslyckandet en mindre heroisk platsLuften i Malmö är grå. I Gerge och Bengtssons romaner finns modiga undersökningar av sex och makt, men via fokus på konflikter med språket, dämpade och lite vrånga. I dessa smutsrosa gestaltningar får misslyckandet en mindre heroisk plats i den queera berättelsen, bortom triumfatorisk omkastning eller klart överskridande.Romaner är inte terapi. Men lite som med den medvetet misslyckade terapeuten kan det också finnas något klargörande över en romanfigur som inte får ihop det. Det är där fördjupningen får liv.Kristofer Folkhammar, poet, prosaist och kritiker.

Journalist Danielle Radojcin visits British artist David Remfry in his studio, where he reflects on his life as an artist - from 60s London (Francis Bacon was a neighbour), to 20 years spent living in the Chelsea Hotel to a triumph at the Royal Academy  - and the famous people who have sat for him along the way. Born in Worthing in the 50s and raised in the northern industrial town of Hull, Remfry studied art and moved to London in the 60s, holding his first solo exhibition there in 1973. A life-threatening illness and a chance encounter with an American gallerist propelled him to fame in Los Angeles in 1980, when an exhibition of his work there sold out immediately.   He became known for his large scale watercolour landscapes and portraits, and in particular for his ongoing series of people dancing. His portraits of the fashion designer Jean Muir and the actor John Gielgud are held at the National Portrait Gallery, as well as which he has work in the permanent collections at the V&A and RA. Over the years he has enjoyed a strong connection with the USA – he spent 20 years in New York, where he lived in the storied Chelsea Hotel, often asking his neighbours, who included Quentin Crisp and Ethan Hawke, to sit for him. In 2001 he was  awarded an MBE for services to British Art in America.In 2006 he was elected a Member of the Royal Academy of Arts, and last summer he was celebrated for his enthusiastic curation of the Summer Exhibition, in which he was determined to give a voice to under-represented talent. He's also known for painting the interior of the famous tea salon at Fortnum & Mason, and a fashion campaign he drew for the fashion designer Stella McCartney.In spite of his achievements, however, he vows he'll never be part of the establishment and continues to draw - and dance - every day. In 2025 there will be a retrospective of his work in Beverely, Yorkshire. https://paulineboty.org/Gazelli Art Housemonomediafilms.london

Bruce Springsteen and Thurston Moore adore his work and rightly so...Wizz Jones is a lynchpin of the UK folk blues guitar scene and has been since the early 1960s. When London was an epicenter for artists from the USA such as Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Jackson C. Frank, and Bob Dylan - Wizz was right there. Wizz was also there to hear some of the first notes Davey Graham played in DADGAD tuning, to witness the impact of a young Bert Jansch on the UK guitar scene, and to run sessions at the legendary Les Cousins club in Soho's Greek Street. It's not there anymore, of course. That end of Soho is now a preponderance of private members clubs and bijoux eateries but back in the day things were a lot less salubrious and, judging from how Wizz tells it, a hell of a lot more fun. Wizz talks about the early days of his life on the fretboard: When he was a young bohemian, the influence of Jack Kerouac on his generation, London's Soho in the sixties when you could bump into everyone from Cat Stevens to Quentin Crisp, his travels around Morocco and France, and offers the benefit of his experience and wisdom with one important caveat. Now in his 80s, Wizz can still be seen playing around London with his trademark 1963 Epiphone Texan. I caught up with him at RMS recording studios in London where Wizz has made several albums in the past. He was in characteristically fine form (the conversation is somewhat peppered with adult language). To my everlasting disgrace, I may have joined in, too. But that can happen when you're hanging out with the cool kids.

Journalist Luke Turner spent his childhood idolising Spitfires and Lancaster Bombers. Now, as an adult, he explores the human lives behind the machines. Who goes to TankFest - and who plays the SS? Are we more obsessed with war machines than living human beings of flesh and blood? How did tank commanders grieve for their crews? What would it have been like to kill someone with a bayonet? Why did Quentin Crisp say Blitz era London like "a paved double bed"? Why was the war a time of queer liberation - only to be followed by a period of horrifying persecution afterwards? How did WWII military medicine lead to gender transitioning surgery?

William Zabka is back as Scott McCall aka Son of the Equalizer. And with EQ out of town, Scott is trying to do some equalizing himself, namely protecting his girlfriend Lori Laughlin (!) and her boss from a man seeking vengeance for a double cross at a WWII POW camp. And that's just the tip of the iceberg for the EQ episode: EQ and Control in DC sub-sub committee meetings; Quentin Crisp as an older Liberace-type Broadway icon turned set designer for criminal's evil whims; Monuments Men-esque Nazi art thievery; Zabka's traded a violin for a guitar; so much more. And the EQ episode itself is just the tip of the iceberg for what we consider our duty to cover in this podcast episode. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com

In the early part of the 20th century, Harriet Cohen, an Academy alumna, was a household name. Superficially known for her beauty and glamour, she wielded influence with some of the most important literary, political and cultural figures of her time – and she was a remarkable pianist. In this episode, Anna Picard explores Harriet's life and legacy, placing her alongside her pianist contemporaries Myra Hess and Irene Scharrer, and the man who taught them all, Tobias Matthay. We explore the Academy's pedagogical tradition, discuss the ‘male gaze' with Joanna MacGregor and hear from the late, great Quentin Crisp.

Jared, Oriana and Ned talk about Ned's choice of topic: Ralph Bakshi's animated film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. A heavily promoted effort at the time due it being both the first ever version of Tolkien's work done for film as well as due to Bakshi's notable reputation as the most well known American animator since Walt Disney and Chuck Jones, the 1978 movie was a reasonable success but not a smash, and the fact that it was only the first half of a planned two-film sequence – but not marketed as such – led to confused audiences and an upset Tolkien reader fanbase. At once a surprisingly faithful if still heavily redacted version of the book and a very unusual mix of animation styles that grew out of Bakshi's earlier movies, the film has retained a cult following since, and the resulting contrast with the later Peter Jackson movies has proven illuminating to both. What makes the sequences like the Flight to the Ford both compelling viewing and something of a slog? Which voice actors bring a notable depth to their characters along with the script and animation efforts – and which ones end up undercutting their characters completely? How does the shifting between particular animation styles, even within scenes, both act as intriguing experiment aiming to solve particular problems and yet also a confusing mess? And what is up with that incredibly generic musical score?SHOW NOTES.Jared's doodle. Jackson riffed on this scene for a reason.And Jared did bake a cake for Megaphonic's Kitchen Party!

It's a choice.The Flight to the Ford scene – well worth watching even if you don't know the full film, it sums up both the strengths and oddities of the adaptation.An example of the intriguing angular design of the Shire woods in the Shadow of the Past Goes Outdoors sequence. (Compare to Eyvind Earle's work on Disney's Sleeping Beauty.)The full Lothlorien sequence, with Galadriel's fashion sense, the strange elf choir, the training montage as such and the Mirror of Galadriel highs and lows.Two notable sequences showing how Bakshi's Aragorn is as Jared puts it ‘his' Aragorn (costume aside): his meeting with the Hobbits in the Prancing Pony parlor and Boromir's death, especially with the wordless reaction from Aragorn near the end of the clip.The Council of Elrond sequence definitely is a moment. Not a GOOD moment…The Shadow of the Past sequence, with the quick cuts of the seasons, Gandalf being crabby and stagy, Frodo's agape reaction to the Ring being tossed into the fire and so forth.Gandalf meets Saruman – or Aruman, depending on the line. Orthanc's design and Saruman's MANY COLORS! included.The hobbits first encounter the Nazgul, and it's a truly creepy moment.Ah yes the Balrog. We agree with the title of this clip.Aside from the opening credits, the prologue sequence is really impressive as we note. But yeah that one Elves bit.Our episode on Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring. And our orc episode.Gollum being Gollum. And almost being redeemed towards the end of this clip. (Per Jared's comparison, here's Quentin Crisp on Letterman.)Grima petting Theoden. Can't put it any plainer.Sam, Sam, Sam. Where to begin? So many examples. And then there's that ‘moment.'Aragorn takes a tumble. Helm's Deep here is not exactly Jackson's.That's one big skull in Moria. Meantime, is Rivendell a lamasery?If you REALLY want to hear the soundtrack… But yes, just listen to Rosenman's Star Trek IV soundtrack instead as Jared suggests.The heroic ending! Sorta. Maybe. If you squint.Support By-The-Bywater and Megaphonic FM on Patreon!

Teens are obsessed with thriving socially—so how are they so clumsy and awkward in social situations? Episode host Robin Friend, Teen Brain Trust Co-Creator and Lead Course Designer, dives into the four main factors that neuroscience can explain. He breaks down the frequently cringey process of development that the writer Quentin Crisp—not a neuroscientist—aptly described as rebelling and conforming at the same time.

For the past decade, veteran comedian and character actor Stephen Sorrentino has been a top headliner in Las Vegas and Atlantic City -- and developed a reputation as a true impressionist icon. But, as the Strip began to re-open post-lockdown, fans and locals learned that Sorrentino had packed his bags and left Sin City to pursue other projects. His starring role in the indie film "A Tale of Redemption and Regret With Sunny the Heat" is receiving rave reviews and sweeping awards on the film festival circuit. In true dramatic form, Sorrentino re-invented himself during the pandemic and is bringing the "Heat."

Sorrentino is a true showman known as a comedian, singer, and impressionist, all rolled into one. Hailed by Variety for his “hilarious, show-stealing gusto,” Sorrentino has shared the stage with superstars such as Patti LaBelle, Dennis Miller, Dana Carvey, and the legendary Debbie Reynolds. However, as a 3rd generations showbusiness professional, this Long Island native always knew that he wanted to pursue a career in music and theatre, learning to play piano, sax, flute, and guitar at a young age. Stephen first stepped on stage at the age of 5 by introducing his grandfather and singing an Irish duet. By the sixth grade, he was doing mock “Tonight Shows,” where a friend would play Johnny Carson, and the young Sorrentino would portray all the other guest stars on the show. Sorrentino was involved in musical theatre during high school and college and began musical composition, eventually landing a publishing deal with Famous Music /Paramount, signing recording contracts. At Paramount, he realized that his cousin was “The Boss” himself: Bruce Springsteen. After a subsequent record release, Sorrentino formed a groundbreaking tribute act, eventually touring 25 countries and 43 states, performing for Disney, Dick Clark, and Legends in Concert, making him the # 1 Elton John impersonator in the world. While performing in Atlantic City, Sorrentino was cast in his first of 21 film roles, as a Mafia boss/drag queen in the cult hit comedy, Homo Heights (a comedy), also stars literary and film icon Quentin Crisp and actress lea Delaria (Orange is the new Black) Following the film, he studied at The Second City, with Martin de Maat, one of the most respected teachers of improvisational theatre. Since then, Sorrentino has starred in several award-winning independent films for Showtime, sitcoms for FOX and NBC, and appearances on “America's Most Wanted,” “7 Days,” and “The Jimmy Kimmel Show.” After several appearances on “Hollywood Squares,” dozens of radio and TV talk shows, and more than 50 TV commercials, Sorrentino decided it was time to create his show, Voices in My Head. Voices features 14-cast members and has toured the United States, enjoyed successful runs at the Riviera and Paris hotels in Las Vegas, and Atlantic City's Tropicana, receiving rave reviews in every venue. Sorrentino has also appeared in the History Channel's “Only In America,” with Larry The Cable Guy, touring Europe to sell houses for six straight months. Sorrentino has received the distinguished honor of being named “Male Impressionist of the Year” by the International Guild of Celebrity Impersonators and Tribute Acts (IGCITA) for three years in a row and won Best Actor in the 48-hour film competition for "The Industry." Recently, Sorrentino has broadened his horizons to return to his roots in musical theater and included a two-month run as Mr. Bumble in the Musical OLIVER and played five roles in ANNIE production with "All in the Family "star Sally Struthers.

Today's episode of QT includes a great interview with the unapologetic Quentin Crisp. He was a century ahead of his time. Enjoy!

Jacinta and Raphael have arrived at the quirkiest of letters, and they can't quite believe how quickly they've quoted the alphabet so far. But our ‘Quota of Quickening pulses' would be quintessentially questionable without qualifying it with a quantity of fabulous Queerness. Q is for Queer and we have not one but TWO quirky guests to question the quagmire of queerdom, bringing their own quixotic quips and queenly quibbles to the quadrat to be queried: drag adjacent artist and performance maker, Felix Le Freak and writer, Georgia Iacovou. Covering umbrella terms (pun intended) to schoolyard mockery, we chat about our own positions on gender, sexuality and romance. Are we quorate? Good, then let's begin our dive into the letter Q, for Queer!

From a young age, Quentin Crisp was determined to be himself—makeup, painted nails, dramatically dyed hair, and all—even if it consigned him to a life of poverty and isolation.

The acclaimed composer and conductor, Oliver Knussen, has died aged 66. He began composing at just six years-old and as well as continuing to write music, went on to conduct around the world and in 1994 he was made a CBE. He was perhaps best known for the operatic adaptation of the children's classic Where the Wild Things Are. Mark Anthony Turnage and Roger Wright pay tribute.A reimagining of the iconic Australian novel, Picnic at Hanging Rock, begins on BBC2 this week. The six episodes explore the mysterious disappearances of three schoolgirls and their governess on Valentine's Day in 1900. Natalie Dormer speaks to John about her starring role in the drama, and about her other roles portraying strong women in The Tudors and Game of Thrones. What's it like being a life model and what makes drawing from life a unique and important discipline for artists? We speak to professional life model Rachel Welch, artist Jonathan Yeo and tutor Charlotte Mann, as Quentin Crisp's autobiography The Naked Civil Servant which depicts his own experiences as a life model turns 50.Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Ben Mitchell.

This week I am joined by my friend and fellow actor chum Mr Mark Farrelly. I had the pleasure of working with Mark in the summer of last year and really connected with him. He is a very wise soul and a strong ally to the LGBTQ world. Amongst other projects Mark has been touring the UK for a fair few years with his one man show 'Quentin Crisp - A Naked Hope' - We discuss his relationship with Mr Crisp and we discuss how that through chaos and disorder in his own life he eventually found solace in Quentin. We talk through his other one man show 'The Silence Of Snow' about the life of author Patrick Hamilton. He talks about the connections to both men and how some of life's heartbreaks and losses have inspired him to write some of his strongest material and also how to be a better listener to others who need an ear. He talks through his time at Cambridge and some of the significant insecurities that were born of that time, and how he over dosed on learning. A pleasure to listen to and chat with - Enjoy!!

In Minute 48 of The Whole Shebang, Mike and Jenny focus on Jack Fairy and his absolute dominance of the scene at the Sombrero, but also take side-treks down imagining Jack's time in London in the Swinging Sixties, talking about Jack's wardrobe, accessories, and self bridging both the highbrow and gutter, and Jack's visual and thematic similarities to Quentin Crisp.
