Mitch Benn: The Lehrer Effect

Tickets £18. 7.30pm, show starts 8pm. "The country's leading musical satirist" The Times  PRESERVING TOM LEHRER’S LEGACY WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT  When, years ago, a teenage Mitch discovered American comic songwriting legend Tom Lehrer, the course of his life was changed forever. Mitch looks at the legacy of the elusive Lehrer, the creative debt he, and all those who mix humour and melody, owe to him and performs some of the more Lehreresque of his own songs. Since Mr. Lehrer (at time of writing, still slogging obstinately along at the age of 97) recently placed his entire catalogue in the public domain, expect a few Mitch Benn-ified covers of some of Tom’s most famous creations as well.

Venue: Colchester Arts Centre, Church Street, Colchester, Essex CO1 1NF.

Event type: Comedy.
