The hit Broadway musical, showing at the Playhouse, includes a puppet prostitute and songs such as The Internet is for Porn and I’m Not Wearing Any Underwear.

Help! We’re prizes down for poshest bingo night

IT’S no secret that Rebus author Ian Rankin is a fan of the national tipple, although his fans might be a little worried that he has been over-indulging of late.
The Capital writer recently admitted to followers on Twitter that he had consumed what could only be described as an unhealthy amount of the amber nectar, writing: “I drank so much whisky last night that I entered a zen-like state and ‘became’ whisky.”
Talk of the Town was not alone in worrying about the after effects, as Rankin tweeted; “How drunk was I when I ordered Carousel, the St Trinian’s remake and Spaceballs from LoveFilm?”
