Streaming show is a Nicorette patch for live theatre
Robin Ince and Josie Long are to host a live virtual gig on Christmas Day.
They say they hope the stream ‘might be nice way of connecting with people who may be alone or looking after loved ones’.
It follows the success of last weekend’s Nine Lessons And Carols For Socially Distance People which Ince hosted for more than 24 hours.
He said: ‘One of the lovelier things that we’ve seen during lockdown is how audiences have connected from a distance.
‘Throughout our 25-hour show, the comments’ section was busy with people who had never met but had found the common ground of enjoying nights mixing The Cure and quantum cosmology.
