The Opinion Makers

Seeing their boyfriend get off with their mother,
Dying of cancer and shagging their brother,
Suddenly knowing their life is a sham,
Finding a finger in apricot jam.

Tape worms and ape sperms and insects that bite us,
VD and TB and chronic cystitis,
Surfacing quickly and getting the bends,
Axe-wielding maniacs killing their friends…

Pin heads with skin heads and brain-eating zombies,
Babies with rabies and puke-covered krombies,
Buying their pants from a second hand stall –
These are the things that they don’t like at all.

…

No it’s not The Sound Of Music, it’s a Brian Mitchell classic from the latest Mitchell/Nixon hit comedy musical, The Opinion Makers.

It’s won an Argus Angel – deservedly, as the crowd loved it. Hey, The Argus should hire Mitchell and Nixon to write their notorious front page headlines… ‘Pin heads with skin heads eat babies with rabies’ would do!

Marvellous acting and musicianship from Brighton’s A-list. Great gags push comedy and music to limits not seen since since Python heydays, and what’s not to like when Dave Mounfield is Belgian, like posh chocolate.
