Murder at Lezzby Avenue

It’s seedy ’70s London, and the Gay Twins (who love their mother) have shaken the sentence structure of civil society with the Great Comma Felony and the Closing Brackets Racket.

Chief Inspector Cressida Clit and her clumsy coppers needed the help of our clever audiences to spot the mistakes and help round up the misplaced apostrophes, without getting distracted by all the streakers.
