In the words of Jane 

Mr. Joseph Morpurgo, despite his prodigious allowance, is a renowned dabbler in comical and literary pursuits. This itinerant jester has been nominated for Best Show at ‘Mr. Foster’s Edinburgh Comedic Awards’, appeared in BBC Two’s ‘Harry & Paul’ and Comedy Central’s ‘Drunk History’, and performed improvisational feats with the likes of the ‘Comedy Store Players’ and ‘Baby Wants Candy’. He hopes to purchase a daguerrotype with the proceeds of tonight’s theatricals.
