My Dad Wrote a Porno...

...Okay, he didn't. Though side note: he does cultivate mushrooms of questionable legality. But we digress — a chap called Jamie Morton's Dad actually did write a porno, it became a podcast of more than 100 million downloads, in which Morton reads a chapter of the text each week, and the rest is history. Except it really isn't. Along with best buds James Cooper and Radio 1 DJ Alice Levine, Jamie will read the 'lost chapter' from the Belinda Blinked saga, and he's doing so live at the Symphony Hall, which seems excellently incongruous to us. The original podcast began when, at a family birthday, Morton's father presented him with chapters of a rather particular novel he'd been penning under the name Rocky Flintstone (in his garden shed Mrs Morton wouldn't allow porn to be created in the house). Levine then had the cazillion dollar idea of turning Belinda Blumenthal's tales into a podcast. Easy. If you're as swift as a gazelle, tickets for the live show on April 25 are available on pre-sale here. And then on general release from 10am here.
