Marcus Brigstocke Is Beyond Parody
MARCUS Bigstocke is beyond parody. Tim Blair looks at the sit-down eco-comic bragging about his bicycle and his eco-pod before we get to see his solar-powered mobile home.
Tips:
1. Do not wee in the sink at Marcus’s house. Actually, do
2. Buy lots of metal switches and lots of cables for electronic devices
3. Buy battery-powered toys to make your point
4. Stick a huge plastic trampoline in the garden
5. Park a big mobile home in the road outside your eco-pod
Stand-up comedian and Host of BBC 4’s The Late Edition Marcus Brigstocke has spoken about his festival must-have - a motorhome…
But rather than the usual stipulations of beer, loo roll and sun cream, the comic says the one thing he cannot be without at festivals is now his mobile home.
“My festival essential is my motorhome; it has changed festivals for me for ever,” Mr Brigstock stated.
“We’ve got our own loo, our own shower and it’s eco-friendly. If the weather turns bad, that’s where we’ll be.”

Eco friendly
A lot of them have solar panels on the roof but it’s mainly to recharge the leisure batteries.
I can’t make out which model it is (Mr. Bat is the expert) but I know it will use fuel
Mind you, it could run on LPG - is that still ‘eco-friendly’ or has it fallen out of favour yet?
Nothing to do with the article but motorhomes are good fun. It’s my compromise to camping. I can live in a field for a few days but can still have a shower and wash my hair properly. The under-floor heating comes in handy in this country as well
