A Recipe For Disaster
Following six sell out shows with "Afternoon Tea with Joyce Grenfell", Liz Hirstle is back with a delicious show of delectable songs and succulent sketches to delight your palate.
This year Natasha Scholey and Tom Barnes join Liz to bring you a cornucopia of mad chefs, weird waiters, and a selection of sweet and sour sauciness. Be prepared to leave with a belly full of laughs and quite possibly a few nibbles, if they actually manage to cook anything that is.
Presented by: Liz Hirstle
When you see a particularly funny song or sketch the mind begins to form an idea. In this instant it was at a July 14th French Bastille Day Lunch, when a young woman, dressed as a ridiculous French Chef sang a comedy song about Fish! At the end of the lunch Someone held up a severed head ( not real) when a rousing chorus of Le Marseillaise was sung by all. The idea of a show based around food began to assemble.I began performing at 16 years old singing with a folk group, then an art school band. Later I took singing lessons and eventually joined the Kent Opera Company singing solo soprano before a friend of mine who directed and produced Old Time Music Hall asked me to perform. I realised I loved acting in comedy. I was good at accents, I could sing, and gathered a sense of comedic timing. Now I have gathered together a group of character actors who all share a passion for making people laugh. Add the comedy songs and we have a great show for 2017
