News of the Weird Live

I just found out (by accidentally stumbling upon it) that at one time you could have gone to see Chuck's column performed in a theater. The improv comedians Gavin Hawk and Ricky Wayne had a weekly show in which they acted out stories from News of the Weird.

Their show had its last performance in 2013, but below you can see what it was like.

A related example of the cultural influence of NOTW, posted by Paul a few years ago, is that Batman read Chuck's column.
