| 0:23.0 | Welcome to the show. |
| 0:27.0 | The London Truth Injuring venue, the so-ho theater located beneath the streets of Soho in the |
| 0:33.0 | Indigent People District where you're likely to meet anyone and everyone out here on the streets |
| 0:38.0 | and anything is available at any hour, quite frankly here in Soho. That's what makes it so very exciting |
| 0:43.0 | in the pulsing, throbbing heart of London. |
| 0:47.0 | There's restaurants nearby and there's shops and there's drugs and it's all yours. |
