Funny man kicks-off festival

Comic writer Pete May will be giving a short welcome speech to kick off Highbury's CLIMATE CHANGE & ME festival on Saturday 11 October. Tickets for the event are free, just turn up at 11am at Highbury Fields School, Highbury Hill. Pete will be speaking at approx 11am after the North London Mosque's youth group sing us a welcome (please arrive in good time).

Pete May doesn't support Arsenal (he’s a lifelong West Ham fan see this year’s blog here) but he's lived in Islington since 1993.


The greenest thing Pete ever did before moving to Islington was recycling old jokes... In fact he didn't want to be a green but his girlfriend was an eco activist and the result is his hilarious eco rom-com set among compost loos and chicken coops, There’s A Hippo In My Cistern: one
man's misadventures on the eco-frontline
, (Collins, £6.99).


Now he's a man on a mission to make green living easy, cheap and fun. Watch the 3-minute video below for a taster...
