A Passion for Passion (Book Launch)

The official launch party for A Passion for Passion!

The Bugle presents our first book, written by Alice Fraser, and this is the launch party! Alice will be joined by Andy Zaltzman for a live show full of erotic satire, plus a Q&A. There will also be a chance to meet The Bugle team and get signed copies of the book.

What started as a joke inside The Bugle's family of podcasts, Alice's fictional romance character D'Ancey Laguarde has come to life with a book like no other, and this live show will feature readings and stand up from this incredibly horny satire.

Collecting together excerpts, book cover designs, character sketches and synopses of ‘D'Ancey’s’ most absurdly frivolous and outlandishly whimsical works, A Passion For Passion is an exclusive glimpse into the tropes and dreams that rise like perfumed bubbles through the fecund swamp of the romantic mind, and a fulsome challenge to anyone denying the importance of joyful silliness purely for its own sake.

What will Andy Zaltzman make of it all? Is this even a 'family show'?
