I met real Count Binface as fans packed sold-out venue for (moral) victory rally

What is reality, anyway? With Count Binface everybody's favourite independent space warrior taking on Britains best-known novelty candidate, its pretty much a matter of perspective

Ive met him the real Count Binface. Ive shaken his hand. And I can confirm he is 100% Recyclon.

Standing an intimidating 65 tall, his skin if thats the right word is cold and smooth and he smells like a new car.

The panel on his midriff makes a faint buzzing noise, but Id never feel the need to embarrass him by pointing it out.

In recent days, the Count has faced various allegations over his so-called real identity. Countless allegations, in fact. From people Id suggest are the reason we cant have nice things.

To them, I would say: Go outside. Touch some grass. Come back when youve developed an imagination and a sense of joy.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Count Binface Party will get ready to take on Nigel Farage.

A loaded ex-banker who attended public school Dulwich College, where places cost up to 67,000, and claims to be anti-establishment.

Should that kind of cosplay really be allowed in Westminster?

Right up my rally

Somewhere beneath the sizzling streets of central London, 80 people are crammed into a dark, slightly odd-smelling tunnel. Its hot here. Were very close together. But the atmosphere is electric.

For fans of Count Binface, tonight is the World Cup final. Its the Sex Pistols back in 1976, when they played the Free Trade Hall in Manchester and inspired a generation of ridiculous hairdos.

The show at the Museum of Comedy is billed as a (Moral) Victory Rally, following the warlords Makerfield campaign. It was going to be a quiet affair, but now the sold-out venue has fans outside, begging to be let in.

The hard-working Recyclon strides out on stage, to be greeted like a resurrected Prince has formed a band with David Bowie. And it only gets better from there. This alien is seriously funny.

A highlight reel of his election coverage, a pop quiz and a recap of his policies are delivered with his trademark charm and wit.

At one point he brings out John Sweeney to interview him like Jeremy Paxman. The BBC veteran puts in a valiant attempt, between fits of laughter.

After 90 minutes or so, we leave sweaty, exhausted and exhilarated. If this is the future of politics, count us in.
