The hilarious Kyle Kinane is at Helium Comedy Club tonight through Saturday, which is a great excuse to post his unnervingly lucid appearance on Drunk History:

We’ve got an interview with Kinane in this week’s paper; I think our writer, Robert Ham, really nails the heart of Kinane’s appeal, which is that he’s a genius who neither looks nor talks like one. Read the interview!

Alison Hallett served nobly as the Mercury's arts editor from 2008-2014. Her proud legacy lives on.
