An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.

Three intimate 45 minute sessions, readings of your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
