A spirited, energetic performance at Oram and Meeten’s legendary Club Fantastico at
the Albany on Great Portland Street, which I found last year on an old mini-DV tape at
the back of a chest of drawers. By the time I did this, I’d already been through the
wringer of Beef Scarecrow, so it’s surprising to see me throw myself into one of my old
songs with such fervour. It might have had something to do with Gary’s recent
appearance on Comedy Cuts, which had just aired on ITV2 and briefly rekindled my
enthusiasm for the character. As for the bandaged hand, I don’t think it was real - just
a costume decision, and the first step towards a self-consciously Goth/punk persona
that I never fully got to grips with before putting him on hiatus.
