Cainer’s deeply moving tales about his family and observational comedy are always a joy. All the human condition is here, expertly brought to life with brilliant rhyming and wordplay, great musicianship and haunting tunes. His songs and his music are for anyone who has ever wrestled with their home, their heritage and their heart (and is partial to bagels). Recently he wrote a song for his number one fan Maureen Lipman’s one woman show at The Southbank and Ms Lipman can often be spotted in the audience.
