Is this pier lunacy?
7:24am Wednesday 7th February 2007 in News
Comdedians are to declare independence for Brighton's West Pier.
Matt Whistler, who earlier this year announced his intention to smash all Evel Knievel's world records, wants the pier made its own sovereign state.
Mr Whistler and his sidekick Eric Mahoganeigh, who run comedy show Radio West Pier on the MySpace website, are planning the stunt to launch the Brighton Whinge Festival - a version of London's Speakers' Corner.
The duo will set up a platform at The Level in Brighton at 1pm on Saturday and invite people to stand on it and whinge about anything they want.
The best whinge will be filmed and posted on their MySpace site.
