What happens when a lyrical comedian bites his tongue against the beliefs of a homeopathic fan he meets at a dinner party? A nine-minute beat poem that premiered during his Are You Ready For This? tour.
It has since become an animated film on YouTube and, thanks to the talents of illustrator DC Turner and producer Tracy King, this animation has evolved into a graphic novel.
Before you launch into the patter of Minchin’s rage, there is the opportunity to discover the story behind the vent that made it to the stage.
Storm is a hippy-type of a girl, with a fairy tattoo whose views on astrology and natural remedies that jar with Minchin’s science-based beliefs take on a seismic flare as the wine continues to flow.
The fellow guests cower at what will escape from the performer’s mouth next.
The pace is harried and paired with stark illustrations that only emphasise the vent.
