Rubbish comic in top Hatters crash
The comedian, who was wearing a dress and a very unconvincing wig was supposed to be disguised as some terrorist bloke he'd seen off the telly.
Apparently the 36 year old comic Aaron Barschak had managed to talk his way past the security guards at Kenilworth Road by saying that he had heard a rumour that the club's President (or whatever his title is this week) Paul Gurney was unable to pay the guard's wages.
In the ensuing chaos, the desperate dandy made straight for the conference room whereupon he announced himself as the new manager of Luton and promised: "Premier League Football at Old Trafford for the next 50 years."
Intrusion
By the time anyone realized that Barschak was an intruder, the humorless humorist had finished his party-piece, changed back into more regular clothes and was sat at the club bar discussing team formations with the bar lady.Club supremo Paul Gurney, who recently announced that Luton would hold NFL, NBA and Formula One events as well as building a theme park (not to mention provide the venue for the revival of Summertime Special with Jimmy Tarbuck) was furious: "This club is in real danger of becoming a laughing stock," he blazed in front of a room full of somewhat bemused journalist and grateful satirists.
Decent
"I can assure all Luton fans that this shocking breach of security will be fully investigated. How are we to be taken seriously as a contender as an Olympic venue if straightforward conferences like this can descend into farce," he continued while unfurling a "Luton 2012" banner."However," he said, once he'd calmed down, "I am very excited about this new managerial appointment and am confident that Aaron Barschak will lead this club into the premier league."
