Rainer Hersch's Victor Borge

The British Comedy Club of Great Britain

www.rainerhersch.com

More than just a tribute, Rainer Hersch's Victor Borge is a rollercoaster ride of outstanding comedy and dramatic insight. A hit on four continents, it has been greeted with critical acclaim and sold out theatres from Montreal to Adelaide.

 

Victor Borge was a brilliant pianist, virtuoso comedian and, at one point, the highest paid entertainer in the world. In 'this Broadway calibre show' CBC, his extraordinary life is retold and his classic routines re-imagined for the 21st century by his acclaimed successor, Rainer Hersch (Loose Ends, Quote...Unquote, BBC Radio 4Club Mozart, Classic FM). 

 

'Hersch is a wickedly funny man, who needs nothing more than a piano and his own wit to leave you desperate for more' Edinburgh Evening News

 

With big laughs, terrific music and a lot of fun, Rainer Hersch's Vicor Borge 'merges the arts of stand-up, impersonation and storytelling into a richly textured, poignant whole' Singapore Straits Times.

 

Book early to avoid disappointment.
