Aaron Barschak is the comedian who has plunged our national security into
doubt. His antics have caused questions to be asked right at the top as
home-secretary David Blunkett demanded to know how an uninvited comedian dressed
as Osama Bin Laden, wearing a pink dress, was able to walk straight into Prince
Williams's 21st birthday party and grab the microphone straight off the heir to
the throne during his speech.
It was, of course, all a publicity stunt to promote his Edinburgh show,
Osama Likes It Hot, which starts its run at the Underbelly Club at
the end of July. It will no doubt work for the first couple of weeks, as
tickets are sold on the back of his notoreity. However, the real test will
come if people still remember his name after the festival and that will be
purely down to whether or not he is actually funny!
