What makes the sci-fi/fantasy genre different when it comes to writing comedy? What can you do in the genre that you cannot do in straightforward fiction?

Followed by Robert Rankin's The Brightonomicon - LIVE

The Brightonomicon is a hilarious sci-fi / comedy drama that relocates the Necromomicon to modern day Brighton. We're proud to present an on stage live performance of the BBC radio adaptation featuring Robert Rankin himself, producer Neil Gardner as the Narrator and other members of the original cast (TBC).
