I’m afraid I beat you to this by several years, when “Theatre Record” magazine printed a clutch of my own efforts. I rendered the first two on your list as Angel Millionbitch and He Convey Malice. Others included Nice Idle Gent Bathing, Johann Child-Egos, Lech Can Repress and Top Aurally. Alas, Hairy Lord Semen is no longer with us. But my favourite remains an FT critic who more usually reviews radio than theatre these days: Tiny Armhole.
