Music Comedy Show
This music hall comedy act offers a sing-along show in the finest British tradition. The performers play a variety of instruments such as accordion, ukulele, tuba, and washboard. Additionally, they incorporate unique instruments like the musical saw, Chinese chastity bells, and sheep. It is a highly interactive show with all the members in full costume and character throughout. The band has performed in nearly every imaginable setting, and some that you probably couldn't, or perhaps shouldn't, imagine.
The Music Comedy Show was the house band for the award-winning National Theatre show ‘The Masque of the Red Death,’ which sold out for 9 months at Battersea Arts Centre. Besides performing at Wilton's Music Hall, Whoopee club, White Mischief, and the Blackpool Wintergardens, the group has presented their show at numerous taverns, private parties, and weddings.
The usual lineup* features a quartet of four multi-instrumentalist singers:
Maestro Paul - accordion
Rupert - baritone ukulele and mandolin
Mr. Sandiford - double bass
Matty Blake - baby drum set
The show can be expanded to include up to seven musicians, with circus and variety acts if required. We can also perform in smaller combinations, from duo upwards.
