Alistair McGowan – The Piano Show

  • Show Information
  • Reviews

A unique mix of classic comedy and classical music

In the wake of his Sony album, which reached No 1 in the UK Classical Album charts, comes Alistair McGowan’s new show, combining his talents as master impressionist and comedian with his new-found talent as a classical pianist!

Join Alistair as he talks and plays his way through snatches of classical gems from Philip Glass to Chopin, from Grieg to Debussy to Bill Evans – expect a lot of beautiful music (with the odd mistake!) and more than a sprinkling of his trademark impressions.

“Alistair McGowan’s impressions are faultless”

 

THE SUNDAY TIMES

“He plays piano splendidly”

THE OBSERVER

“Alistair plays an impressive range of pieces with enviable touch and feeling”

 

CHARLES OWEN, PIANIST

“Two shows for the price of one: laugh-out-loud comedy and some surprisingly sensitive piano playing”

 

JAMES LISNEY, PIANIST
