About this episode
It's 1991, the year that the world welcomed our friend and guest Jamali Maddix into existence. Bryan Adams has a record breaking number one single, Ukraine votes to become independent from the Soviet Union, two incidents of ex-postal workers engage in killing sprees, a pyromaniac fire fighter is charged with arson, newspaper tycoon, fraudster and father of Ghislaine, Robert Maxwell dies, and Dick of the Year serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer is finally arrested. Also Jamali shares a lot of funny stories about his travels around the world for his brilliant documentary series, Hate Thy Neighbour.
You can buy tickets to Jamali's last shows of his tour at Hackney Empire, Cambridge and Reading from his website - https://www.jamalimaddix.com/
