Kiki and Herb are the creation of American 'cabaret terrorists', Justin Bond and Kenny Mellman, respectively. Since 1993, they have been presenting Kiki and Herb shows to standing room only crowds internationally. In no way a conventional drag act, Kiki and Herb offer audiences their own special brand of hard-hitting, gritty character comedy. Kiki is a washed up, boozed up chanteuse whose middle age passed her by some time ago. Herb, her piano-battering, lifelong accompanist provides musical underscoring to her rants and raves. At any given moment the duo are likely to twist and warp a tune until Kiki is screaming the lyrics and Herb is pounding the piano keys with a vengeance. Interspersed with the songs are Kiki's hilarious and often tragic monologues about her life, her career and anything else that happens to be on her mind.T1654945017Direct from a second sell-out show at Carnegie Hall New York's legendary cabaret terrorists bring their brand new show to the UK for one night only, featuring songs written especially for the night by the likes of Antony and the Johnsons. | |
