Understandably he didn't want me to spill all the beans, but gave his gracious consent to the preview of a few victims in the latest of his now celebrated spins on Gilbert's lyrics. They include - no prizes for having guessed this one -
The Prime Minister of Italy who seems to have a hunger/For teenage girls and prostitutes and lots of bunga bunga
- nor this -
There's the Speaker of the Commons who can barely reach his seat/And his wife who has been posing all butt-naked in a sheet
and while some of us might take issue with a few targets, no-one is going to feel too sorry for
...the boss of Ryanair who wants us pay to use the loo/O'Leary's on my list - to be sure he's on my list.
If you want any more, you can see for yourself: only a limited number of performances from tonight, so hurry, hurry. Jolly good fun guaranteed.
