About This Show
Hilarious, macabre, surreal, and touching, this epic song-cycle from Richard Thomas and Dr Adam Perchard is cabaret at its funniest and most full of heart. Dr Adam Perchard (cabaret star, comedian, poet, and occasional fortune-teller to the international elite) is an old vamp with one hell of a backstory – and Richard Thomas (Oliver Award-winning composer of Jerry Springer the Opera) is here to get the scoop! Featuring dazzling original music, vocal fireworks, and rampant repartee, sit back and let this iconic duo take you on a whirlwind tour of the doctor’s brain. By turns joyful, dark, and extremely silly, the interview covers everything from hyper-realistic cakes to how to negotiate a nervous breakdown in Darlington, from giant bugs to finding love at an orgy – and it reveals what’s really going through your university lecturer’s brain when they’re teaching you Romantic poetry. With an Olivier Award-winning composer asking the questions and an international singing star giving the answers, this is an interview like you’ve never seen – or heard.Downstairs
