— FEEL THE BENEFIT
We're the Comedy Casuals Stan and Suz
We like a good tall and we like a good booze
I likethe Hibbies
She likes a good joke
And we like to put aspirins in our coke While we’re doughnuts we like to rap About what it’s like to live in crap Whiles I feel angry
Whiles I feel sick
I can’t keep living in this shit
But I have no choice
‘Cause I have no voice
All I can do is have a
BENNY FIT!
Christmas Rapping takes on a different meaning for Comedy Casuals—aka Stanley Naive and Susan Intrusion— who will be touring community venues this month with their cabaret act ‘Rap lt Upl‘. The duo formed recently, with a definite commitment to doing benefits and playing at community venues and, in serious vein, will be hoping to encourage people to claim benefits due to them before April. But they will be doing so with comedy and are undertaking theirtour in the good company of the rockabilly busking band, Wray Gunn and the Rockets, the lemale comedy duo Lib and Rene and, at South Carntyne, Wackhead — a new two-strong cabaret act from the stable of the Merry Macs.
