Hard on the heels of the Punch & Judy fiasco*, I've heard from Equity variety branch that the Damn Act's causing havoc in the circus due to the requirement to obtain individual licences for every stop - I gather that another flurry of letters to MPs will follow.

One way of headlining it is that having failed to make morris dancing illegal theyre going for the clowns!

* of course every punch & judy prof should carry mobile toilets with him (one of the sillier implications of a booth being a "premises"). Think of the scope for fun when you install a practical joke pottie!
