Joel Vinsen has been holed up in his lair, working on new jokes, making horrendous guitar noises, and occasionally even emerging to go to the shops etc. Joel is opening his lair to the public to show you his jokes, for ONE NIGHT ONLY!

This is a third draft work in progress show. Come and help Joel choose which jokes will escape his lair, and feature in his upcoming Billy T show, Renaissance Man, and which will forever remain hidden from the outside world, never to be spoken of again. Also, there will be guitar, it will be a headless guitar, and Joel will make some weird sounds with it.
