An evening of the songs and scribblings of George Grossmith
Leon Berger, with access to George Grossmith's
personal collection, presents the songs he wrote & performed.
George Grossmith has two main claims to fame: First, he created
the chief comic parts in most of the Gilbert & Sullivan. And
second, he was the author, with his brother Weedon, of the comic novel,
THE DIARY OF A NOBODY. But he was also for most of his life a solo
entertainer - a one man show with a piano.
Delicious songs depicting Pooterish London suburbia with its Victorian
pretensions and its petty annoyances. A world of gas lamps &
hansom cabs, seaside holidays & society dances.
This is a
full length show, but can be modified, to fit in with your special
dinner, or reception. Leon is accompanied by a piano for this
programme.
'An
hour of Victorian mirth!'
