News gods, a forgettable festival and stabbing yourself in the eye
Last night was the newspaper industry’s night of nights, with the PANPA newspaper of the year awards being hosted by comedienne Julia Zemiro.
Most of the crowd thought Zemiro killed, in terms of comedy, with a special highlight being when News Corp’s boss Julian Clarke was being grilled by the SBS TV host.
“Nothing from you Julian?”, asked Zemiro, to which he replied no. “That’s not what this (the run sheet) says but ok…”
She then decided it would be a good time for an impromptu quiz with the 74-year-old News Corp boss, asking him: “what was the last concert you went to?”
In my defence, I was very drunk when I wrote that article.
Rowley Birkin QC (The Fast Show) lives!! “Fourteen miles out of Edinburgh….completely shaved….slept for three days!” etc. etc. Great stuff Nick, keep at it!
