This demonstration features us doing great true stories years before This American Life caught up, and a longer version of Will Barnett's marvellous Dreams.

Yes, yes, yes, to those of you who pointed out that we can't spell 'Tall Tales'. The ko-fi site has now been re-named.

Last one for the week, with huge thanks to Benet Brandreth, Kosha Engler, John Finnemore and Susannah Pearse.

Details for the live show are here.

News of this month's Tall Tales Live, along with news of neglected Kilburnians and brief meta-analysis of the Pearse songbook.

Today's demonstration reveals more important secrets of the bureaucracy we all depend on and a song during which the writers of the song were harmed every time they heard it being sung like this.

We announce Name of the Decade. You may submit your favourites from any NOTY bracket or anywhere else. We are catholic in that sense. We are not catholic in the sense that Pope Thrower will not make our list, nor even Pope McCorkle III, though he is closer. Maybe it makes us more catholic not to be including these names. We don't know. We are not catholic.

Today's demonstrations sees - 'sees'?, let's say 'features' - features one of the highlights of Tall Tales' last couple of years from Matthew Parker and Ellis Sareen's tremendous villainous plutocrat from Diary of a Nobody by Finnemore and Pearse.

Oh - Warhorses of Letters is available via this link.

Today's demonstration sees the end of Kilburn's Glorious 2012 and Simon Kane, via John Finnemore and Susannah Pearse, takes it out in suitably magnificent style.

A tiny piece of Benet Brandreth which is the equivalent of ten complete normal persons. Have a smashing weekend. (Americans will be baffled at all our holidays but a) we have tons more than you anyway and b) May is the holidayest month.)

Bonus feature: NOTY 2017.

Ideally, today's music would accompany the legendary fifty-second Kilburn story, which features many of the same characters and is about interpretive dance, but we won't get there for a couple of lockdowns.

Today's demonstration features the continuing adventures of Mike Westcott and an important message from Abigail Burdess.

Name fans, here are Key and Peele doing joke College football names. I would watch all three, obviously. In case you're not a fan of American football and think this is an unreal fantasy world, part of what is so magic about these is the detail and realistitude of the graphics, the presentation, and half the names: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDp-ABzpRX8

At last, we reach Kilburn's most-repeated joke.

Also, music from The Devil Gets All the Best Tunes by Ferguson and Pearse (with a big hat tip to Will Barnett) and Names of Other Eras (with a big thank you to Paddy Duffy).
