Mr Biffo: Confessions of a Chatroom Freak
In this video podcast, sponsored by Wiggly Wigglers, Mr Biffo (BAFTA nominated screenwriter Paul Rose), otherwise known as LoopyLisa21f, discusses his alternative digital life in internet-based chatrooms. Brought to book by The Friday Project, this is Paul Rose’s first book and takes us through a journey of the bizarre, funny, sad and sometimes desperate world of the lonely hearts.
Mr Biffo has been Paul’s alter ego for sometime and may have been influenced by The Beano comic, which features the adventures of Biffo the Bear. Mr Biffo’s alter ego, LoopyLisa21f, was inspired by an act of revenge which grew like topsy, eventually becoming a liberating space for Paul to be creative and uninhibited in his on-line chats with men. Or women. Or men pretending to be women. Confused? You will be once you’ve watched this show!

I learned the other day that Mr Biffo used to also write on Teletext! I enjoyed this interview immensely; Paul is an entertaining, witty and engaging chap. Totlly mad of course ;-) but I would imagine that a dinner party with him as a guest would be most entertaining!
