An alternative night with Piers … on the cheap

Obviously, the last thing Axegrinder wants to do is hit sales of £225 tickets for dinner with Piers Morgan on December 4 (see yesterday’s story) but there appears to be a better-value option for anyone keen to ask questions of the ex-Mirror editor.

On 21 November at Newick Village Hall (that’s the Sussex village where Piers’ family lives and where the great man still has a home) the hack-turned-TV tart will star in An Evening With Piers Morgan.

It’s all for a good cause – The St Peter & St James Hospice and Continuing Care Centre – and, unlike the London corporate event, this is highly affordable. Tickets cost £10 and, according to a flyer seen by Axegrinder, you can “buy the chance to ask Piers a question” … for just £2.50. 

And as a bonus you won’t have to watch the red-faced, flabby one demolishing a three-course meal.
