Comedy can often be informative - just think of Bill Hicks and his political diatribes. Robin Ince's School For Gifted Children show is less of a rant and more of a funny and at times, musical lecture by various comedians on anything and everything from things they have found out about dinosaurs to nebulae and wig powder.
Its style is haphazard and off the cuff with unplanned diversions and twists and turns. Ince himself informs us: 'It's for people who like watching documentaries about ants with odd behaviour, books about rebellious librarians and who enjoy the idea of enthusiasm.'
