In fact, you didn't know that it was possible to articulate that thought or emotion until you heard it articulated. That's some powerful shit. There's a cure for a lot of societies ills right there.

With him being an artist I shouldn't be surprised that he's defending the arts, it's just so rare these days that I didn't expect it.

Glad to hear some people still understand it's power, maybe we won't have to live in a future where everything is minimalist, mass-produced, colorless and dull after all. Maybe we'll even realize that life without beauty and wonder is not much of a life at all and that the human race would be nothing without an imagination.

Me and the Mrs were watching Ant and Dec's Saturday Takeaway one evening and we decided that we needed to do something a bit more 'cultural' After a bit of searching on the web, we happened upon the National Theatre website. Christopher Marlowe's Edward II. That's us we thought. We got the train from Basildon on a Saturday afternoon (it was a matinee) and there we were, newly arrived as part of the chattering classes among the theatre goers, Shakesperians, students etc. What we didn't know was it was a "modern adaptation" (or didn't bother reading the programme) Well, the play started with Edward IIs coronation and this bloke stood up two rows in front of us and started shouting. We looked at each other "Who's this wanker? Shut up, we're trying to watch a play" The wanker in question was of course Piers Gaveston, the King's lover. And in this version, he (and several others) announced themselves from various places in the actual audience. Well, we felt right idiots. Still, we watched it to the end and enjoyed it. It'll be a long time before we can do this again. F--k off Covid 19.

Thank you for standing up for the arts. Yes, protecting the health of the nation rightly comes first.

Having read the comments it would seem some people missed the comedy aspect and the fact that you get some things wrong on purpose😆 That was your dad though, right Tom?

[@imurpheous1757]

as a former glastonbury resident i can assure you there will be a collective sigh of relief the festival was cancelled this year

[@BoringOldXboxGamer]

Glastonbury has it's own "flu" anyway, it takes about 10 days to recover from it!

[@patriciaangeles4816]

Funny enough, a few locals got together and organised ‘the Alternative Glastonbury Festival’ next to the Tor last year, with local artists playing and neighbours arranging refreshments. A good time was had by all 👀

[@gunmankhan8167]

Is it just me or did I always imagine Pie wearing Jeans rather than suit pants

[@danielcooper1294]

No, I think he wore jeans in a lot of the first Pie videos.

[@MatthewJBD]

He usually is wearing jeans.

[@johninaryan951]

He wears jeans in interviews and a tshirt than he is not in character!

[@hughneek12]

Suit, collar and tie are his working gear, but he really is a jeans and jumper kinda guy.

[@chriskelly3481]

He wasn't wearing trousers at all during iso.

[@gs425]

Is Pie turning into Johnny Ball? Same over excited enthusiastic delivery with peaks and troughs! Well done. Most entertaining pie to date

"A Fairtrade Town -REALY?" Hehe...

[@monkmell]

Watched till the end of the vid... Johnson's points about what the Government 'should' be putting money into instead of "Cheep Gimmicks" to tell the rest of the business world that they are STILL "here and available if you want to trade". Who are the ones in charge? What are "Their agendas?" AND... "Avoid it like the plaque" ... what a guy!!❤️😂👍

[@Daedric_Sion]

Give us some politicians with something near that level of passion and insight, sure go over the top and get it wrong sometimes but show me you have ounce of comprehension of what it means to be human and I'll forgive you for being one when you do.

[@Emmeline9422]

This is your best ever, Jonathan. Love it to pieces. I'm really hoping that Mr Haggis is real. xxx

The Buddha in the closing monologue was ever so slightly distracting.

[@MrSatnavatron]

This is ART -- pure wonder ... Thank you Tom and the Team

[@standup2982]

I need to have a poo in Glastonbury.

[@Kettlepip]

Most of mine are in Glastonbury. It's alright, you know. Not amazing, but alright.

[@chynazes5000]

I like to imagine those people that denounce the arts (especially as part of education for children & youth) are the types that failed recorder lessons in school and are still salty about it decades later, because with all the studies out there clearly demonstrating the cognitive and emotional benefits the arts have on people and society at large, the only other conclusion I can draw is that some of our politicians are bloody ignorant. Respect to you Tom for bringing this up! 🙏 Fellow artist here who also misses performing live (and attending cabarets, of course ;)

[@Elephantstonica]

Stoned or not, he’s not wrong. Culture comes before civilisation, in the hierarchical sense as well the temporal.

[@dansionov4617]

Jonathan Pie is awesome. I can't get enough.

[@chumpey]

He looks and sounds suspiciously like your dad! But yes: we MUST save our arts!!

[@deelawdazhahs1078]

great work Pie, as always, thought provoking stuff eased through with humour
