for example, in the early days of spoken word in those kind of venues, before sound was digital, you know, it would sometimes take longer to get to the speakers in different parts of the room, so things were out of sync.

So I'm wondering about exaggerating that so that different parts of the room are getting the speech later, significantly later.

And then, you know, they film them, don't they, the comedians, and project them.

So I'd like to have on stage a little...

like grasshopper or something in with a mic stand in a glass tank and you film that and project that and i avoid do with a voice or something like to make it or you wouldn't see you at all well you might do later or to me to be on stage but in a motion capture suit right what like like gollum has in lord of the rings the actor so that on the screen is a younger version of me

That's interesting.

Or it could be Jimmy Carr.

Or it could be Jimmy Carr, yeah.

And also, in stadium gigs, arena gigs, people are always wandering in and out, aren't they?

They never can concentrate.

They go to the bar, they do piss all the time.

To have loads of people just on the move all the time through it.

And then to have people selling things, because another awful thing about those kind of shows is those kind of acts often have insanely overpriced merchandise, and to rip off the working classes that go to those kind of venues, to have really aggressive selling of absolutely shit things in the aisles all the way through it.

So to take the arena gig and amplify all of its worst aspects and have a horrible night, I think, would be really funny.

It sounds like an art piece.

Yeah.

Well, what's wrong with that?

Yeah.

Down the line, I might do that.

What?
