The Francis Tibbles Show might be too highbrow for you, nonetheless, it's a live radio variety show created and hosted by the lunatic millionaire Francis Tibbles. The show runs monthly at midnight Greenwich Meantime, and usually originates from the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, although it is frequently taken on the road. The Francis Tibbles Show is known for its musical guests, especially noise and experimental musicians, tongue-in-cheek radio drama, and the bawdy storytelling of Olivia the Robopoet.
