Taxi for Iannucci




http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1924846,00.html


The above is last week’s lecture by Armando Iannucci at Tate Britain. He discussed the value of comedy in politics and mentioned that often there is not a lot for the gag writer to do.

Four days later, I read that on the eve of the opening of their new £24 million church in the City of London, Janet Laveau, spokesperson and personal auditor for the Religion of Scientology said

“Anti-social types will often try to leech off the success of creative types.”

Armando?
