Rainer is well known to BBC radio and television audiences for his many appearances - including as a regular guest on Quote....Unquote, Loose Ends and, most recently, winner of a special celebrity edition of Counterpoint. He has appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 13 times and toured the world as a comedian, pianist and conductor. 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 once voted "the funniest man in the world" by The New York Times. During the 1960s he became the highest paid entertainer on the planet, loved by audiences worldwide. In the London premiere of this one-man show, his extraordinary life is retold and his hilarious act re-imagined for the 21st century by his natural successor, Rainer Hersch.
